What is the World Day of Prayer?
The BWA Men’s World Day of Prayer is an annual event on the fourth Saturday of April. The BWA Men’s Department sponsors this event and seeks to unite men in more than 200 Baptist Conventions and Unions around the World. This special day involves Baptist men worldwide, in a unified day of witnessing, prayer, giving, fellowship, inspiration and learning.

Baptist men all over the world will pray for God’s help as they seek to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every person in the world. Many will follow up their prayers by going into communities witnessing to the unsaved and will give financial gifts to send the message where they cannot personally go.

What are Men Encouraged to Do?
Men’s Groups around the world are encouraged to repeat the prayer below together at 11:00 a.m. and make telephone and video links where possible, in a time of communal prayer during the Day of Prayer.

Corporate Prayer
“Gracious God and Father, we gather to celebrate your love, your gift of salvation through Jesus Your Son. Guide us as Your earthly hands and feet to respond to the needs of Your people, we pray.

Everlasting God, make Your ways known unto us. Show Your power among all people. Anoint afresh Your leaders of the Baptist World Alliance and Auxiliaries as we journey in faith, into the next five year period.

Give added strength and courage to our sisters and brothers in Africa and the Middle East who are being persecuted because of belief in you.   Grant hope to the hopeless and strength in these times of despair and disquiet that we are experiencing in our world.

Triune God, hear our prayer, as gladly we submit to Your will and Your way”.   Amen.
