Praise:
We give thanks for the gift of song that Emmanuel Baptist Church of Ethiopia shared during the 22nd Baptist World Congress. Click here to worship alongside them.
Prayer:
Pray for northern Ethiopia where conflict is increasing hunger and where Ethiopian Baptists and the BWA are helping provide food assistance. 
Please also join us in prayer for the people of Eritrea.
We give thanks for the hundreds of global Baptist leaders who contributed to the 22nd Baptist World Congress through their time, talent, wisdom, and experience. We also praise God for each person who logged on this week to participate with us live, including many who joined in the middle of the night. It was an honor to worship together, study together, pray together, and fellowship together. If you were unable to join us live, we encourage you to visit our YouTube channel to celebrate alongside us all that God has done and is doing through our global Baptist family.
We celebrate that we have just completed the 22nd Baptist World Congress. With registrants from 146 countries, we thank the BWA family and give praise to the Lord that this was the most globally diverse Congress in the history of the BWA. Would you pray that the Lord would continue to move within the more than 4,500 people who registered? Would you also join me in thanking the entire BWA team for their incredible hard work and that we will enjoy a season of rest in the Lord? 

Prayer from Eritrea

Thank you, dear Jesus,
for being a good shepherd to all believers.
When we are lost from your flock,
you never sleep until you bring us back,
and there is rejoicing in heaven and on earth.
Our daily shepherd, our defender, our protector,
thank you for keeping us from all evil,
from fearful, harmful things
and for preserving us from all unbelief.
In your name we pray.
Amen.
