Baptist World Aid

100+ Years of Global Impact

Since 1920, Baptist World Aid has networked Baptists around the world to alleviate poverty and hunger, respond when disasters strike, and support sustainable community development projects around the globe.

Responding Today

Through your partnership in prayer and giving, Baptist World Aid is responding with aid and relief to urgent needs in the world today. View the areas where we are currently responding below. 

Baptist World Aid

More than 20 people have died and others remain missing in the wake of the California (USA) wildfires. Join us in prayer for the many who are grieving. Thousands are now displaced with more than 10,000 homes and structures destroyed. Pray for our Baptist churches on the ground providing shelter and support to those in need.

An increase in flooding across the globe is devastating already vulnerable countries, damaging crops and infrastructure and threatening livelihoods. Our partners on the ground are focused on providing essential aid, including non-food items, cash grants, food, water, shelter, and clothing to the most vulnerable populations. This amounts to over $450,000 in requests for support. 

BWA Give Now - Support Response Efforts in Israel and the Palestinian Territories

Baptists across Israel and the Palestinian Territories request fervent prayer for just peace. This includes the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel with 17 Baptist churches and the Council of Local Evangelical Churches in the Holy Land representing 13 Baptist churches in the Palestinian Territories. Join us in prayer and support for those seeking to be sources of light and hope at this time.

Baptist World Aid

As one Baptist family rooted in Jesus Christ as Lord, we bear witness to the biblical truth that ‘if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.’ We stand with our Ukrainian sisters and brothers as they continue to suffer in the face of war. The humanitarian needs remain great, and your prayers and support are vital to keep ministries of care and compassion going at this time.

Baptist World Aid

On February 1, 2021, the military removed the democratically-elected leadership and seized control of Myanmar. As a result, all ethnic and religious minorities as well as actors of conscience and conviction have been forced to flee or live in grave danger. We continue to stand with the people of Myanmar in prayer and advocacy as they continue to serve the Lord amid so many challenges.

Thank You for a Year of Global Impact!
