Baptist Union Prayer Diary


2nd March -  The World Day of Prayer takes place on Friday 7 March. This year the theme is “I Made You Wonderful’ from Psalm 139:14 and the material invites us into the knowledge that each one of us was made with care and love by God. Please do join this global wave of prayer for our world. (WWDP)

16th March- This week we pray for the Ministries Team, who support all forms of recognised and accredited ministry amongst our churches, as well as providing guidance and advice on ministry-related matters. (BU Ministries)

23rd March - 23-30 March 2025 is being highlighted as a week of prayer for our Baptist movement. Please do take the opportunity this week to pray for our mission so that people will encounter Jesus and surrender their lives to following him; for God’s coming Kingdom in our communities as we seek to be salt and light in those places; and that the whole Body of Christ will rise up, living and witnessing to Jesus every day and sharing the reason for the hope that we have. (BU Praying Together)

30th March - On this Mothering Sunday, we thank God for people who offer us the care of a mother:
For their nurture and care;
For their example and inspiration;
For their love and friendship.
‘As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you’, says the Lord.

BMS World Mission Prayer Diary


2nd - 8th March - Ghana - BMS recognise the immense contribution the Church in the Global South brings to God’s mission. Creating opportunities to engage in mutual collaboration to fulfil the Great Commission is critical. We pray that the work of the Oasis Mission Hub in Ghana will bear much fruit for God’s glory.

9th - 15th March - Gender Justice - This year’s International Women’s Day theme is 'Inspire inclusion'. This theme focuses on teaching their communities to value the inclusion of women. However, in many parts of the world, women are excluded from leadership. BMS World Mission is committed to promoting the visibility of women in leadership roles and the equality of men and women.

16th - 22nd March - Sierra Leone - BMS World Mission has been supporting two denominations in Sierra Leone to train their church leaders in Church and Community Mobilisation (CCM). This involves helping churches identify the local resources they have in their communities already, so they can take ownership of the change they want to see and transform lives.

23rd - 29th March - Nepal - Nepal remains a fragile country both economically and geographically. It has an unstable government and is prone to landslides, floods and earthquakes. This week we pray for the work of BMS World Mission’s partners in the country. 

30th March - 5th April - Creating Safe Spaces - As BMS World Mission seeks to provide refuge and help to those in need, they want to make sure that the spaces in which they work are safe and honouring to God. Please join them in praying for safeguarding this week.
