BWA General Secretary Elijah Brown Visits Liberia

General Secretary Elijah Brown was grateful for the opportunity to travel to Africa last week and to attend the inauguration of Joseph Boakai as the new President of Liberia. President Boakai is a longtime Baptist deacon.

Dr. Brown also had the opportunity to visit the newly convened William R. Tolbert Baptist University (named for a former BWA President) as well as Liberia's longest-operating seminary – Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary. We give thanks for our sisters and brothers in Liberia and pray for the Lord's continued blessings on their leadership and ministry.

A Prayer

O Lord, heavenly Father,

in whom is the fullness of light and wisdom,

enlighten our minds by your Holy Spirit,

and give us grace to receive your Word

with reverence and humility,

without which no person can understand your truth,

for the sake of Jesus Christ

to whom with you and the Holy Spirit

be all glory.

(John Calvin)
