Preparation for the facilitators

Theme – “I Will Give You Rest: Come”
Scripture Passage – Matthew 11:28-30

Intention

This programme calls all to come closer to God and find rest in God. When we totally trust and have faith in God, our burdens become light, and we find rest. The programme was written by a group of ecumenical Christian Nigerian women in response to the theme, “I Will Give You Rest: Come” (Matthew 11:28-30). We reflected collectively on this theme from the context of our experiences as Nigerian Christian women. We hope to inspire other women in the world to unite and pray as one people. As we trust God, our Burden Bearer, we become one body in Christ, receiving and bringing rest to the world.
