Planning is underway for the 23rd Baptist World Congress in Brisbane, Australia! We are excited about this opportunity to partner with Queensland Baptists and Australian Baptist Ministries.

Over 40 people gathered last week at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre for prayer and planning for this quinquennial event, the largest global gathering of Baptists. Mark your calendars for July 7-12, 2025, and make plans to join your Baptist family for this amazing event.

Members of our team were blessed to worship this week at Gateway Church and Riverlife Church in Brisbane, Australia.

God is truly at work in this city! Would you join me in a prayer of thanksgiving for the incredible missional impact of these two churches?
