Christians around the world are praying on 5 February

Churches, small groups and believers all over the globe will be praying with BMS World Mission on its annual Day of Prayer. Will your fellowship join in?

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray,” the famous passage in 2 Chronicles 7 says, the Lord will honour our repentance and our prayer. That biblical promise is at the heart of its annual Day of Prayer, and BMS invites you and your church to stand on it and bring its work before the Lord on Sunday 5 February. If you do, you will join workers, partners, friends and supporters of BMS all over the world.

For 225 years, BMS has relied on the provision and guidance of God to bring people to faith in Jesus Christ and offer them the abundant life only he can provide. Its missionaries, methods and management structure may have changed over the centuries, but our need for faithful prayer support has not. We are grateful to all the faithful prayer warriors, intercessors and quiet petitioners who regularly pray for our ministries, and we hope all of you will join with us (and our friends around the world) on 5 February to renew and reaffirm that support.
