Baptist Youth World Day of Prayer is observed on Sunday, June 11.
Planned by the Baptist World Alliance Youth Department, young people around the world are encouraged to plan services that reflect upon the importance of prayer and to intercede on behalf of others.
It is a time to celebrate the unity that Baptists and other Christians share as believers in Jesus Christ and to seek a deeper relationship with Christ.
The day and its observance provides an opportunity for persons to contribute to the Annual Prayer Offering, used in leadership development and to assist mission projects involving young people around the world.
This 2017 theme, “Prophetic Action,” is based on the Singapore Declaration, which calls Baptist young people to commit to live as “G.O.S.P.E.L.” people.
Five Bible studies were developed, based on Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
The studies are intended not just for the Day of Prayer, but to be used during the course of the year.
Materials are available on the BWA website.
