The program commenced at 12:05 p.m. with an opening prayer led by the host and leader of the Organized Christian Midwife Group, Rev. (Mrs.) Sarah Olaide.
Prayers centered on the peace of Jerusalem, the safety of Israeli citizens amid ongoing regional tensions, and God's protection over expectant mothers and families in Israel. Participants also reflected on the biblical example of the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah (Exodus 1:15–21), whose courage and faithfulness were highlighted as enduring models of integrity and service.
