Praise: Join us in thanking God for the vital evangelistic efforts and public witness of local Baptist churches and for the associational leadership provided by General Secretary Najo Emmanuel. He writes the following in response to Covid-19: "We pray that this circumstance will encourage all of our leadership to rely on God's competency and in God's power alone." Prayer: Join us in prayer for the local Baptist Association as they steward resources from a recent Baptist World Aid emergency grant issued as part of the "Standing Together" Global Response Plan. The funds will be used to provide food, hygiene products, and educational resources. 

Join us also in prayer for the people of Comoros, Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles.

The Baptist World Alliance calls the worldwide Baptist family to pray for one of our faithful Global Impact Churches. Trinity Baptist Church, located in the Bronx (a borough of New York City, New York, USA), has been impacted profoundly by the Covid-19 pandemic. Pastor Naomi Tyler-Lloyd, who also serves as a BWA Vice President, shared that the coronavirus has tragically claimed the lives of 23 church members. Please join us in claiming the promise of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 for the Trinity family as they turn to the "God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."

100 years ago our global Baptist family stood together by giving the first Baptist World Aid gift to communities suffering in the aftermath of the Spanish Flu pandemic. One hundred years later, we are asking you – our Baptist sisters and brothers – to respond again to a global church that is suffering. As the Spirit moved in power at Pentecost, we invite you to stand together as a global family on Pentecost weekend: May 29-31 (Western) and June 7 (Eastern). Imagine the mountains God will move if every Baptist church in every region of the world unites together in worship, stands together in prayer, and gives together to help those in need.

Join General Secretary Elijah Brown in praying for Baptist Mission Agencies and Missionaries this week. With many asking meaningful spiritual questions during this crisis, pray that the Lord will continue to open doors to share and live out the Gospel. Pray for Baptist mission agencies and groups as they decide about field placement and for those who are serving on the faith frontlines today.

A Prayer for This Hour Heavenly Father, you have welcomed us into your kingdom and your hearts’ desire is to draw every human being to yourself. Grant us clear eyes to see people as you see them, sensitive feet to stand in their shoes, and warm smiles to welcome them into your name. Give us generous hearts that our church becomes a foretaste of heaven where every soul you send us finds their loving home in the community of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. ( Prayer from Mauritius, The Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean )
