Holistic Mission Webinar Series
Part One: Justice and Compassion

Saturday, December 4, 2021, at 11 am EST (Washington DC Time)
Redux Presentation: Tuesday, December 7, 4 pm (IST)
In response to the global impact of COVID-19 on the mission of the church, the BWA developed a Holistic Mission Guide earlier this year that features 50+ articles from around the world. To expound on the ideas found within the guide, the BWA Commission on Mission is hosting a 3-part webinar series with themes connected to Advent, Epiphany, and Lent. Join us in prayer for the Lord to use this series to equip the Baptist family and further the fulfillment of God's global mission.
Accepting Nominations through November 30
Do you know someone who is making an impact in the stand for human rights? We are seeking nominations from each of our BWA regions for the 2022 Denton & Janice Lotz Human Rights Award.

This award is given to recognize a global Baptist leader for significant and effective action or activities to secure, protect, restore, or preserve human rights. Join us in prayer for all those who are making a difference in this area and for wisdom in selecting an awardee.
As we begin Advent season, let us choose to live in "Expectant Hope," trusting the One who is the anchor for our souls. Join me also in praying for ongoing Gospel generosity as we near the end of the year.
A Prayer for Faithfulness

O God, 
keep our churches faithful in bearing witness to your great love for all humanity. 
Deliver us from intolerance and all that hinder others from seeking you. 
Bless our country and guide our political leaders so that their fruit may abound 
and the interest of the people is served. 
Grant grace to our priests, pastors, and ministers so that they may be diligent in the study of your Word and in the discharge of the work they have been called. 
Amen.

(Lee K. Tham, Singapore, September 2014)
