From July 7-10, thousands of Baptists from more than 120 countries will join together for worship, fellowship, and study at the 22nd Baptist World Congress. We want the entire event to be covered in prayer, and we are inviting you to be part of a global prayer team seeking the Lord's power, provision, and protection over our time TOGETHER. 

Our goal is to have more than 72 continuous hours of intercession from every corner of the world to cover the event from start to finish. Please click the button below to sign up for an hour time slot and become a vital part of this incredible experience!
We are less than 10 days away from Together 2021! With people registered from more than 120 countries, this will be the most globally diverse gathering of Baptists in our history. In addition to more than 30 Bible studies and seminars, over 40 global discussion groups, and dynamic worship and preaching, we will also join together for two exciting pre-conferences on Wednesday, July 7, including the Global Conference of Baptist Women and the Together with the Persecuted Religious Freedom Summit. With freedom of religion and belief under attack around the world, this is a crucial time for Christians and other religious minorities as they face increased persecution globally. Join us to learn how the Church can stand together with the persecuted. Learn More
A Maranatha Prayer

God of Hope,
whose Spirit gives light and power to your people,
empower us to witness to your name in all nations,
to struggle for your own justice
against all principalities and powers
and to persevere with faith and humour
in the tasks that you have given to us.
Without you we are powerless.
Therefore we cry together:
Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus.

And grant that we may with one voice and one heart
glorify and sing praise to the majesty of your holy Name,
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

(“An Invitation to Prayer” at the opening of the fifth assembly of the World Council of Churches, Nairobi, 1975.)
