The first week of January has marked over five decades during which Seventh Day Baptists worldwide have lifted united petitions to God. Each year since 1967, SDBs have engaged in a Week of Prayer, joining in meditations provided in a themed booklet prepared for this observance.
The 2024 Week of Prayer offers suggestions on how to consistently remember before the Lord the various circumstances and endeavors of our brothers and sisters established in different nations. Each day's focus draws us closer in spirit to our worldwide family, while strengthening our bond in the body of Christ.
Let us take full advantage of this opportunity to entwine supplications for our global communion. May our intercessions bless, encourage and empower fellow believers across every land to shine forth the light of Jesus through faithful witness, persevering love, and good works.
Greetings, amazing members of the Seventh Day Baptist World Federation community!
We are reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity to be part of something extraordinary - our very own Communication & Marketing Committee! We believe in the power of effective communication and strategic marketing to elevate our shared mission and strengthen the bonds within our global family.
As part of the meetings of the World Federation in Malawi, attendees had the opportunity to visit the Makapwa Mission Station, which was established in the early 1950s by an SDB missionary from New Zealand named Ronald Barrar. The station served as the headquarters for the Central Africa Conference into the 1970s, when the headquarters was moved to Blantyre. The station includes the SDB meeting house, a health center, and a primary and a secondary school, in addition to several other supporting buildings, including residences. It was also the home for many years of the SDB Bible College in Malawi.
In our global Seventh Day Baptist community, prayer is a powerful tool that unites us across borders and cultures and it has been like this since the beginning of the Federation. As we usher in the new year, we are excited to announce the release of the "2024 Week of Prayer Resources". These materials have been meticulously crafted to facilitate your conference's prayer meetings, offering both a visual aid and insights into how to uplift our worldwide SDB family in prayer.
We extend our sincere gratitude to each and every one of you who actively participated in the enlightening and engaging 2023 SDBWF Sessions Webinars. Your collective involvement and contributions played a pivotal role in making these sessions a resounding success.
The next sessions of the Seventh Day Baptist World Federation will be held on September 17-23, 2023 at the Hotel Victoria in Blantyre, Malawi. Attendees should fly into Chileka International Airport (BLZ), Blantyre.
