Join us in praying for democratic elections and government leaders that work for the good of all. Pray also for church and ministry leaders as they continue to minister in the midst of the challenges of COVID-19.

We continue to celebrate the recently completed 22^nd Baptist World Congress. While others have been written, here are a few stories about the Congress and how the Spirit moved among us. Our thanks to these media outlets for helping chronicle the experience.

A Prayer from Somalia

Lord,

Make me among those whom you have guided.

Make me among those whom you have pardoned,

and make me among those to whom you are a patron.

Bless that which you have bestowed on me

and shield me against the evil of what you have decreed.

Truly, you are the one who decrees and none can decree over you.

The one to whom you show allegiance can never be abased,

and the one whom you take as an enemy

is never honoured and mighty.

You are the blessed and the exalted.
