For more than 70 years, sisters in Christ have united in prayer for the Baptist Women’s World Day of Prayer. Traditionally celebrated on the first Monday of November, the event has grown in recent years to include the months of October and November with observances from BWA Women continental unions, national Baptist women’s unions, and individual churches in every region of the world.

Praying for Myanmar

I was honored to be one of the panelists for the Chin Association of Maryland gathering last week and to speak about the BWA's advocacy for Myanmar. The 1.7 million Baptists that call Myanmar home continue to face the challenges of political unrest and violence more than a year after the military coup in February 2021. At the BWA Annual Gathering last month, the BWA passed a new resolution calling for peace, religious freedom, and democracy in this beautiful country. Would you join me in praying for the people of Myanmar today?

A Prayer from Cameroon

When we contemplate such beauty,
the immensity before us,
blossoming with colour and scent,
the surprising diversity of all that surrounds us,
the green forests, the animals,
the intelligence which allows us humans
to create with you,
God, the acts of your grace on our behalf,
we can only express our joy at being your children
and gladly sing of the generosity of your love.
