World Refugee Day

More than 100 million individuals have been forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations. This reflects the highest levels of displacement on record. This Monday, June 20, we join with many across the globe in prayer and the observance of World Refugee Day.
Join Us Virtually

Knowing that travel is still difficult for many, we are excited to offer a virtual registration for the 2022 BWA Annual Gathering. Make plans to join us July 10-15 to experience powerful teaching and worship as well as networking opportunities with Baptist sisters and brothers around the world through the virtual event platform. In addition to streaming access to our corporate sessions, join select commissions for engaging presentations centered on the topic of racial justice. You do not want to miss this opportunity to connect and learn together!
Standing for Religious Freedom

Earlier this month Everton Jackson, BWA Director of Integral Mission, represented the Baptist World Alliance at the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty Luncheon of the 61st General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church held in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

We are grateful for each of our 245 member bodies and for the incredible work of Baptists around the world to advance religious freedom. Would you join me in praying for the Lord's continued guidance for our global Baptist family as we stand together for religious freedom?

A Prayer for Wisdom

God of love, God of compassion,
in the midst of death and evil,
you mercifully look after us:
protecting, providing and smiling,
constantly reassuring us of your care.
Grant to us the joy of this occasion,
especially as we celebrate our birthdays,
knowing that your love is life.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may acquire a heart of wisdom,
through him whose life has become our light, even Jesus Christ.
