A week of special prayer meetings (on weeknights and two Sabbath mornings), usually held in early or mid-November, for which a series of readings is prepared and printed in special issues of the Review and Herald and, in translation, in the union papers or other church papers in various countries. There is emphasis on united prayer around the world.
Seventh-day Adventist schools observe similar weeks, in autumn and spring, with varying programs and sometimes under different names, with the special aim of bringing young people to decision and commitment.
