Evangelism Month Update
In the month of May, Baptists partnered with other Christian communions intentionally in united prayers, personal evangelism, and social outreach ministries, thereby setting the stage for ongoing discipleship.

Thank you for the role you played in promoting the month and mobilizing Baptists globally to participate – guided by the mantra that "every Baptist is a witness.” We pray this was a fruitful time of Gospel ministry in your community and would love to hear more about the impact of your local initiatives during this strategic season of evangelistic focus. Would you share the impact with us so that we can celebrate with you and plan effectively for future evangelism efforts?
Annual Gathering is almost here! Meeting on the campus of Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama (USA), we are eager to unite July 10-15 for a strategic time of prayer, fellowship, learning and planning together with a special emphasis on racial justice. 

Would you join us in prayer as the final preparations are made and would you make plans to join us either in person or online for this important time together in the life of the global Baptist family?
Pray for the Ministry of BWAid

This week I was able to serve alongside Baptist World Aid Director Marsha Scipio in Washington, D.C., as we met with USAid. She is doing an incredible job leading and facilitating Baptist humanitarian responses from Sri Lanka to Kenya to Ukraine.

Would you join in continued prayer for the numerous countries around the world that are facing ongoing humanitarian crises and in praise for the global partnerships that support relief services for those in need?

A Prayer from Botswana

Dear God, our builder,
you have all the building materials needed to construct our societies.
You have all the strength to put wisdom on all that has fallen apart in our lives.
You have the wisdom to reshape our world.
Inspire us with all your wisdom, strength and love,
to rebuild the broken walls in our community.
