Venezuelan families are struggling to find clean water, electricity, gasoline, and public transportation. Pray for the restoration of economic stability and for God's provision for the missionaries, churches, and pastors striving to be salt and light to the world while battling burnout and significant financial difficulties.

Join us in prayer today for Baptist World Aid Director Marsha Scipio and leadership from Texas Baptist Men, a BWA Forum for Aid and Development (BFAD) member, as they serve alongside Baptist leaders in South Sudan to assess needs and develop action plans for clean water sources. The need across the country is great with millions impacted by continued conflict and natural disasters.

This month we join with many in expressing appreciation for the faithful service of pastors throughout the 176,000 churches in our global Baptist family. The COVID-19 pandemic created a new array of challenges for those in pastoral roles, but they have continued to serve the Lord despite financial hardship, immense pressure, and unprecedented need.


Would you join us in a prayer of thanksgiving for our pastors and a prayer of intercession for the Lord's strength, protection, and provision for these pivotal leaders?
