  • 2020 Yearbook
    2020 YEARBOOK STANDING TOGETHER BY STAYING CONNECTED DIRECTORY GENERAL COUNCIL MINUTES STATISTICS NETWORKING THE BAPTIST FAMILY TO IMPACT THE WORLD FOR CHRIST Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Baptist World Alliance mission statement is “Networking the Baptist family to impact the world for Christ.” Core to this endeavor are ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships and ministry partnerships within the BWA family. Annually, since the late 1920s, the BWA has produced a Yearbook that is today shared with the conventions, unions, associations, and Baptist leaders actively involved in the BWA’s multifaceted ministry “to impact the world for Christ.” Across four sections, the Yearbook details the BWA organizational leadership and member bodies, provides the official account of the proceedings of BWA General Council meetings and the annual statistics of Baptists around the world, publishes financial statements and contribution reports as part of a commitment to financial integrity and transparency, and concludes with a directory of BWA Baptist leaders currently serving on BWA committees and commissions. The Yearbook is provided with the conviction that we are biblically called to encounter one another in loving fellowship and joyful collaboration. While asking for the responsible utilization of included information, it is expected that the Yearbook will enhance ministry partnerships. It is also hoped that the Yearbook will challenge us to pray more concretely for one another and to make direct contact that expresses solidarity with any BWA Baptist experiencing sorrow, hardship, or joy of any kind. May the Lord continue to richly bless you and BWA Baptists around the world. Thank you for your partnership in the mission of God.

Bondye fè k'ap epi vivan ofri tout kò nou ba li tankou ofrann bèt yo mete apa pou Bondye Se sak fè, frè m' yo, jan Bondye fè nou wè li gen kè sansib pou nou an, « Apre sa, Jezi di disip li yo: Si yon moun vle mache dèyè m', se pou li bliye tèt li. Se pou l' chaje kwa l' sou zepòl li, epi swiv mwen.Paske, moun ki ta vle sove lavi l' va pèdi li. Men, moun ki va pèdi lavi l' poutèt mwen, li va jwenn li ankò. Kisa sa ta sèvi yon moun pou l' ta genyen lemonn antye si l' pèdi lavi li? Kisa yon moun kapab bay pou l' gen lavi?
