Week of Prayer for State Missions | Day 8 | Ministry to Women

In a lot of ways, Shannon Maddox’s call to missions and ministry was built by Alabama WMU. “I grew up in Parkway Baptist in Auburn, and I did Girls in Action there as a young girl, Mission Friends before that,” she said. She also went to Missions Adventure Camp and later served as a cabin leader.

“I was really enthralled with the stories of missionaries being willing to go and immerse themselves in a different culture for the sake of the Gospel,” Shannon said. That led to her serving as a summer missionary, then as a campus
minister.

Now Shannon is continuing that call by serving the women of Alabama. She has helped develop a strategy that will assist in equipping and connecting women’s leaders across the state.

Pray for Shannon as she talks with leaders of women’s ministry around the state to find better ways to resource them. Pray for Alabama WMU leadership.

Week of Prayer for State Missions | Day 7 | A Full Circle Moment

Janice Mason had just lost her husband of 21 years when Hurricane Sally rolled into the Alabama Gulf Coast in 2020. She and her daughter sat up through the night listening to the wind batter the house. The next day, an Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief volunteer found her standing in the yard still processing the storm.

Fast forward to 2026, and Janice bumped into someone who looked familiar — the same volunteer she had met in the yard that day when she couldn’t wrap her head around what she had lived through. This time, both were deployed to help those affected by Winter Storm Fern in the Mississippi Delta. “It’s all God,” Janice said. “It’s all about what you’re doing for others. They see it, we feel it, and God blesses it.”

Pray for Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers to have wisdom and endurance as they go out to serve those surrounded by tragedy and devastation. Pray for God to raise up more people to serve as volunteers.

Week of Prayer for State Missions | Day 6 | Starting a New Journey

Southside Baptist Church in Monroeville wasn’t sure how much
longer it could keep going. “They knew they were headed in the wrong direction and needed to change,” said Steve Dunn, associational missionary for
Bethlehem Baptist Association. Turning to the State Board of Missions for help, Dunn and State Missionary Rob Jackson began walking alongside the church
to start a new vision. Through the passing of a key church leader and the retirement of their pastor, Steve continued to walk alongside the church as
their coach and connected them with a new pastor, Stephen Smith,
whom he had been mentoring.

In Stephen’s first year, Steve connected Southside to an evangelism strategy from the State Board, and they went from 25 to 50 in attendance and began renovating their building. “I think a lot of churches get discouraged, and I think they need
to realize that perspective can change — just start,” he said. “The support and partnership are key.”

Pray for the SBOM’s church revitalization team as they help churches find and follow a new vision for the future. Pray for Southside to continue to grow and be a light in its
community.

Week of Prayer for State Missions | Day 5 | Using Baseball As Missions

Brian Williams says there’s not much going on in rural Alaska in the summers to engage kids with the Gospel. That’s why Brian — a pastor in the Copper Center area — had a vision for starting a baseball camp ministry. There was just one missing piece — all the equipment. But Scotty Goldman, director of the State Board’s Office of Global Missions, said God already had a plan for that. Around the same time, someone from a city league athletics group in Alabama called him and said they had a huge amount of surplus equipment — especially for baseball. He connected with Brian, and Brian said it wasn’t long before big boxes started arriving.

“God really provided,” Brian said. Scotty says Brian’s vision for engaging rural areas is part of the next season of Alabama Baptists’ partnership with Alaska Baptists.

Pray for Brian Williams and other pastors in Alaska as they seek to
reach even the most remote parts of Alaska with the Gospel, and for the Alabama Baptist churches who are partnering with churches in Alaska to continue to strengthen those partnerships and send teams to serve there.
