Prayer:
Join us in prayer for political, ministry, and church leaders as they respond to the crisis in Eastern Europe. We also pray for the ministry of BMS World Mission as they work in collaboration with Baptist World Aid and European Baptist Federation to provide vital humanitarian aid to Ukraine and neighboring countries impacted by the conflict.
Ireland

Join us in thanking God for the vital role that Baptist leaders in Ireland have played in the life of the BWA since its beginning in 1905. 
Prayer:
Join us in prayer that Baptists would continue to have a positive witness in a rapidly-changing society.
The All-Ukrainian Union of Associations of Evangelical Christian-Baptists, a BWA member body for 30 years and the largest Protestant group in Ukraine, is doing incredible ministry in the face of unimaginable circumstances. Baptist World Aid is supporting these efforts as well as working with the leaders of the Baptist Unions in neighboring countries who have also created networks of refugee centers in their churches. Your support is vital at this critical time.

Praying for Australia

Half a million people in Australia were under evacuation orders last week as the nation endured record flooding. Brisbane experienced the equivalent of 80% of its average annual rainfall over the course of a few days. Please join us in prayer for Australian Baptists as they respond and for the many who have lost their homes. Brisbane will be our host city for the 2025 Baptist World Congress, and we stand together with them now in this time of need.
On Monday, February 28th, members of our Baptist family from over 60 countries committed to unite together in prayer for the crisis in Eastern Europe. With prayers voiced in multiple languages and a special update from a Baptist leader in Ukraine, it was a powerful time together. We invite you to watch the replay and share the link with others as we continue to seek God's peace during these uncertain times.
Holistic Mission Webinar

As the world continues to face challenges, it is critical for us to continue learning, growing, and serving together. This month the BWA Commission on Mission will be offering the third part of its 3-part webinar series with a special and timely emphasis on "Suffering."
This week I was honored to travel to New York City to join a multi-faith prayer for peace service. I was also able to visit with the Ambassador of Hungary to the United Nations about the work of Hungarian Baptists who are serving refugees and the displaced in Ukraine. To learn more, please watch my video update.
I would also ask for your prayers for our BWA team and Executive Committee as we gather this week for our annual March Executive Committee meetings. Please pray for the Lord to give us wisdom as we join in prayer and strategic planning at this critical time in the world.

A Prayer for Christian Unity

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Saviour,
the Prince of Peace, give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers
we are in by our unhappy divisions.
Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us
from godly union and concord: that, as there is but one Body, and one Spirit,
and one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism,
one God and Father of us all, so we may henceforth be all of one heart,
and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity,
and may with one mind and one mouth glorify thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

(The Church of Ireland, The Book of Common Prayer, 2004)
