Prayer:

We join with German Baptists in prayer for:

ways to respond to the polarizations in ethical and social issues and that Christians will be known as people who contribute to reconciliation and not fuel conflicts
the future plans and impact of the Union of Evangelical Free Churches (Baptists) in Germany through "Our Union 2025 - Shaping the Future"
for Iranians in the country and their families
for enthusiasm of the churches for the Gospel and a love for people through the Spirit of God.

We also join in prayer this week for the people of Monaco.

Friday, February 24, marks one year since the invasion of Ukraine. On this solemn day, we invite Baptists worldwide to gather for a time of unity, prayer, and giving as we seek the Lord for just peace and an end to this war. Together we will express our continued commitment to stand together with our sisters and brothers in Ukraine as they share light and hope across the nation.

Join to hear updates from Baptist leaders across the impacted region and learn more about how your support has made a difference in the face of unimaginable hardship.

In addition to the gathering on Friday, European Baptist Federation (EBF) is hosting a special time of prayer reflecting back on the past year of war in Ukraine on Ash Wednesday, February 22, at 19:00 Central European Time. Click for more information.

Morning Prayer

[May] we go on our way

to act in accord with Jesus’ words and deeds,

to be the salt of the earth,

to seek justice,

to build peace,

to protect the creation,

and to gain life. Amen.

(Amelie zu Dohna)
