The BWA's Exciting Future

Friends,

The upcoming "Summer Gathering" of the BWA will be a most important and exciting time for Baptists around the world. We begin with the 400th anniversary celebration of Baptist movement in Amsterdam, led by the European Baptist Federation.

Thereafter, we move down the road about 50 miles to a small town and comfortable convention spot called Ede. Baptist leaders from all around the world will join hands and hearts in those meetings.

I write this post asking all to pray for this most pivotal meeting. A new President for years 2010-2015 will be chosen. A director for the new Freedom and Justice office of the BWA will be confirmed. This person is Raimundo Barreto from Brazil.

Whether you can participate bodily or not, you can all participate with us at the BWA table via the power of prayer. Let us never diminish or dismiss the importance of such intercession.

By the way, isn't intercessory prayer the most moving and meaningful kind of prayer for you?
