Join us as we pray for them.

The lives of IMB missionary kids are shaped by both extraordinary opportunities and real challenges.

From one season to the next, they experience change that requires deep trust in the Lord.

As many step into new transitions this time of year, we have the privilege of supporting them through prayer.

Join us in praying for missionary kids:
• For peace in seasons of transition and change
• For those returning to the U.S. to begin college and adjusting to a new culture
• For kids heading to the mission field for the first time, learning a new language and culture
• For deep friendships and meaningful community in new places
• For confidence in their identity in Christ, no matter where they live
• For endurance, joy, and nearness to the Lord in every season

Today is WMU’s 138th birthday!🎂

Since its founding in 1888, WMU has taken up the call to support Southern Baptist missions work around the world. That support has resulted in raising millions of dollars, offering up an untold number of prayers, and inspiring wave upon wave of missions-minded individuals to share the gospel with the world.

🎉 Celebrate all that God has done through WMU throughout these 138 years.

It's all about the gospel!

PRAYER WARRIORS, we need your partnership! 🙏

Our team in West Africa is traveling TODAY with plans to host the very first shoebox outreach events in a hard-to-reach area on Friday. 🌍

The 12-hour journey is known to be dangerous, but we believe it is important for children and their families to hear the Gospel!

Please pray for:
🙏 Protection and safe travel
🙏 Peace, wisdom, and courage
🙏 Safe delivery of the shoebox gifts
🙏 Open hearts at the outreach events

Thank you for standing with them in prayer! ❤️

Living on mission right where you are planted!
Happy and Blessed Mother's Day.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day to every mom living on mission right where God has planted you. 🌸

Whether it's leading little hearts at home, showing Christ’s love in your workplace, or boldly serving through your church, your faithfulness matters.

➡️ You are raising the next generation of missionaries, church planters, and disciple-makers. You are building the kingdom in everyday moments that may feel unseen but are deeply significant.

Today, we celebrate you—your strength, your prayers, your love, and your impact for eternity.

Keep going. God is using you in powerful ways.
