Thankful for a Year of Fellowship

This year, BWA leaders have traveled the globe and utilized technology to connect online, speaking to more than 65,000 Baptists across all six regions. We have participated in member partner milestone anniversaries and gatherings and have visited Baptists in Ukraine, South Sudan, Syria, and Turkey to offer aid, support, and solidarity as they endure war, natural disasters, and humanitarian crises.

In moments of celebration and in times of distress, the BWA provides a ministry of presence to Baptists around the world, reminding them they are not alone. Your prayers and support make this global ministry possible as together we “rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15). Thank you!

A Prayer from Vietnam

O, we remember, O Lord,

those who suffer from any kind of discrimination,

your children, and our brothers and sisters,

who are humiliated and oppressed.

We pray for those who are denied fundamental human rights,

for those who are imprisoned,

and especially those who are tortured.

Our thoughts rest a few moments with them…

And we pray that your love and compassion may sustain them always.

(Vietnam, Week of Prayer for World Peace. WAGP, p. 203.)
