Baptists One in Prayer | December 13, 2022

Thank you for joining us this week as we pray for our global Baptist family and for God's work around the world. If you unite in prayer with us weekly, you will pray for every country in the world this year!

Cambodia

1 BWA Member Body

Cambodia Baptist Convention

527 Churches
22,531 Members

Pictured are women in Cambodia gathered to pray for the world as part of the 2022 Baptist Women's World Day of Prayer.

Praise:

We give thanks for God's provision for his people in Cambodia and for the significant spread of the Gospel over the last three decades, which has led to many people opening their hearts to trust Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Prayer:

Pray for Baptist leaders as they navigate new potential laws that would impact Christians and the ability to evangelize. Pray for religious freedom to be preserved and for the law to not pass so that Gospel witness is not impacted.

Vietnam

1 BWA Member Body

Baptist Convention of Vietnam

509 Churches
51,000 Members

Pictured are students and teachers from a Bible class offered in the Dien Bien Province.

Praise:

We give thanks for those ministering in Baptist churches throughout the country and sharing Gospel witness in their communities.

Prayer:

Pray for climate and weather safety during the often challenging storm season. Also pray for continued recovery for the people and economy as they face ongoing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join us also in prayer this week for the people of Laos.

BWA General Secretary Elijah Brown and his wife Amy traveled to Jordan at the invitation of King Abdullah II to be part of discussions focused on the baptismal site of Jesus on behalf of the Baptist World Alliance. Please continue to join in prayer for these important conversations.

During their visit, they were also able to spend time with Nabeeh Abbassi and the leadership of the Jordan Baptist Convention and to visit Mount Nebo where Moses stood to look into the Promised Land.

Everton Jackson, BWA Director of Integral Mission, joined with church leaders from around the world last week in New York (USA). The group's discussions focused on the observation and celebration of the 2000^th anniversary of the resurrection of Christ and the birth of the Christian church in 2033.

Please continue to join with us in prayer as we plan for this important milestone.

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.)
