The Baptist World Alliance is transitioning the 22nd Baptist World Congress to a fully virtual event on July 7-10, 2021. This decision was made in prayerful response to the COVID-19 global pandemic and as a result of collaborative discussions with global Baptist leaders. The BWA staff and global Congress leadership are committed to offering a virtual event that builds upon the years of strong planning already invested, ensuring that returning attendees and newcomers alike experience the meaningfulness of this gathering. 

"After this unprecedented season of physical isolation, we need the encouragement of our Baptist sisters and brothers more than ever," said Carolina Mangieri, BWA Director of Global Events and Fellowship. "I am prayerful that this transition will enable more people than ever before to experience the beautiful unity amidst diversity of our global Baptist family."
As those in the USA celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday this week, General Secretary Elijah Brown invites you to join him in giving thanks for the global Baptist family. Through the many challenges of this year, Baptists worldwide have stood together in prayer, worship, mission, and giving.
A Prayer from Singapore

O God,
keep our churches faithful in bearing witness to your great love for all humanity.
Deliver us from intolerance and all that hinder others from seeking you.
Bless our country and guide our political leaders so that their fruit may abound
and the interest of the people is served.
Grant grace to our priests, pastors and ministers so that they may be diligent in the study of your Word and in the discharge of the work they have been called.
Amen.
(Lee K. Tham, Singapore)
