AN UNFINISHED MISSION

Week of Prayer Overview

On October 28-29, 1823, a group of 15 men and women gathered at Salem Baptist Church near Greensboro to organize the Alabama Baptist State Convention. A nearby historical marker notes, “They met to promote missions, education, and closer cooperation among Baptists of Alabama.”

Throughout these 200 years, Alabama Baptists have not only maintained an unwavering commitment to these priorities but also to praying fervently for missions and missionaries. And while we have much to celebrate, there remains an unfinished Gospel task before us that demands our greatest efforts.

During this Week of Prayer for State Missions, we invite you to join us in boldly praying for the five strategic Great Commission Ministries featured in this prayer guide and to prayerfully consider your gift to the Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering. Your gifts provide resources to help Alabama Baptists carry the life-changing power of the Gospel to our local communities and beyond.

How you can pray...

  • Pray for Alabama WMU as they encourage missional living by challenging, equipping and empowering Alabama Baptists.
  • Pray for Disaster Relief efforts that will bring hope and healing to the hurting.
  • Pray for Church Planting efforts among the unreached and unchurched in our state.
  • Pray for Church Revitalization to take place in churches and leaders across Alabama.
  • Pray for relationships between Alabama churches and missionaries around the world to be fostered through Partnership Missions.
