Being prayer ‘partners’

Being prayer ‘partners’

Baptists in Ukraine and Guatemala are doing what they can from afar — praying. The countries’ conventions have partnerships with the Alabama Baptist State Convention as Michigan does.

Leaders from the conventions were in communication with Reggie Quimby, director of the State Board of Missions’ office of global missions, soon after the April 27 tornadoes ripped through the state. They assured him of their prayer support.

Ukrainian Baptists also took up an offering for relief efforts. It equaled several hundred dollars, which is what an assembly line worker makes in one year, said Emery Laszlo, a Southern Baptist representative in western Ukraine. (TAB)
