Whenever I spend time in Midland, I head home encouraged and renewed. I am grateful we are all part of one family in the Lord and grateful for the ways Baptists are responding with Gospel generosity to support our sisters and brothers in Eastern Europe.

Crumble the Walls

God, we pray: 
crumble the walls that still separate Christians, 
and create a unity, according to your heart and will. 
Accept us as we are, but mold us as you want us to be, 
and help us become the leaven of unity and love 
in our country and around the world.
