Day 1

Week of Prayer for State Missions - Day 1

A Decade of Faithfulness

Week of Prayer Overview

As Alabama Baptists enter our tenth year of observing the Week of Prayer for State Missions and the Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering, it is both a cause for celebration and reflection.

Certainly, we celebrate God’s faithfulness, which “endures to all generations” (Psalm 119:90) and which compels us to be faithful to Him. We rejoice in the more than $12 million Alabama Baptists have given since the Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering was launched in 2016, helping to extend life-changing ministries to thousands.

But we also celebrate Alabama Baptists’ faithfulness in fervently praying for both the lost and our efforts to reach them, knowing that those prayers have accomplished much, as promised in James 5:16. What better way, then, to honor God for His faithfulness than by renewing our own faithfulness in praying, giving and going into a state and world which desperately needs the Gospel.

Will you commit this week to making a difference by boldly praying for the ministries and people listed in this guide? Then prayerfully consider your gift to the Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering.
