Prayer:

It is estimated that over 425,000 people in Thailand are living in slavery, and approximately three million migrant workers have been forced into labor or sex trafficking. Join us in prayer for Baptist leaders as they seek to be voices of hope and instruments of change in the face of this injustice.

Baptist World Aid Director Marsha Scipio traveled to Vienna, Austria, last week for a strategic time of care, support, and planning with European Baptist Federation and Ukrainian Baptist leaders.

Please continue to stand in prayer with our Ukrainian sisters and brothers who are seeking to share the love of Christ in the midst of war and suffering. Please also pray for Baptist leaders in surrounding countries who continue to provide a place of refuge for the displaced.

A Prayer from Myanmar

Give us this day our daily bread.

All good gifts of the earth come from your generous hands, God.

Yet, this abundance is not shared equally among us.

While some are satisfied, others are starving.

Women often become the victims of exploitation

because they are desperate to feed and care for their children.

If only we would be mindful that each and every one of us must pray:

Give us this day our daily bread.
