BMS World Mission
More than 130 million people worldwide are living in temporary conditions, having been forced to flee from their homes. BMS’ Help for the Journey programme supports forcibly displaced people as they seek safety.
- Pray for BMS partner Thimar, which provides education through local churches to school-aged Syrian children living in Lebanon.
- In European countries that receive a high volume of refugees, BMS supports churches to welcome displaced people. Pray for BMS partner Quest Academy, which trains men and women to reach out to their own communities.
- Pray for the French Baptist Federation as they support, along with BMS, new church plants that reach out to Afghan, Iranian, Ukrainian and North African populations.
