It's always encouraging to connect with our Baptist brothers and sisters around the world, including Stephen and Beverly Stookey who will be joining us in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the 22nd Baptist World Congress in July 2020.

A Prayer from Malaysia

O God of Life,
you have placed us on this earth to usher in Your Kingdom of love and compassion.
Forgive us when our social witness has failed to build bridges of peace and understanding among all peoples.

Let there be growing spaces of understanding, tolerance and harmony among the different ethnic and religious communities.

Grant that Your church in Malaysia will deepen its influence to work for peace, to be prophetic in calling for justice and caring in sustaining a sharing fellowship with all people.

So rule our hearts and prosper our endeavours of good,
to the honor of Your Holy name, Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray.
Amen.
