Prayer Women’s League – Evangelical Lutheran Church in Southern Africa

Who we are

The Prayer Women’s League gathers the women of ELCSA in prayer, service and witness — a fellowship present in parishes and circuits across all seven dioceses. The League is led by its Churchwide Executive Committee and diocesan committees (term of office 2024–2030), and comes together every two years in its Biennial Conference.
