Southern Baptists are being urged to pray specifically each week for the United States, its leaders and the nation’s military, according to a joint statement issued by the presidents of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) and SBC Executive Committee.
“We call upon the 16 million Southern Baptists and 42,000 Southern Baptist churches spread across this land to commit themselves to regular, specific and focused prayer for our nation and for its leaders in these trying days,” reads the statement, signed by SBC President James Merritt and SBC Executive Committee President and Chief Executive Officer Morris H. Chapman.
In addition to the statement, Chapman announced the creation of a special Internet prayer site at inallthingspray.net. A prayer guide is being prepared to assist those who will commit to this investment of time and spiritual energy to pray pointedly and with purpose. (BP)
