Praying Together 2025 

​Here at the start of a new year I want to call our movement to a continued commitment to prayer in the year ahead, writes General Secretary Lynn Green

 
We all know that prayer is vital for our worship and mission. Fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commandment and Great Commission needs to be rooted in heartfelt and persistent prayer. I am so grateful to the Lord for all the faithful prayer that is offered across Baptists Together in so many different ways. 

Here at the start of 2025 I want to call our movement to a continued commitment to prayer in the year ahead. 

I want us to be praying for our mission so that people will encounter Jesus and surrender their lives to following Him. 

I want us to be praying for God’s coming Kingdom in our communities as we seek to be salt and light in those places. 

I want us to be praying that the whole Body of Christ will rise up, living and witnessing to Jesus every day and sharing the reason for the hope that we have. 

With this in mind I want us to continue to pray into the Project Violet research findings so that we can express our lament and through this also share our hope for a future where every believer can fully play their part in God’s Kingdom purposes.


To encourage our prayers the Core Leadership Team will be sharing weekly prayer videos on our social media channels. Please connect via this page. 

The prayer videos are also being hosted on our website here.

There will be five live, online national prayer gatherings on:

• Wednesday 22 January 2025, 7:30-8pm
• Tuesday 25 March 2025, 7:30-8pm
• Tuesday 17 June 2025
• Wednesday 8 October 2025
• Wednesday 26 November 2025

Please put these dates into your diary now! The link for these will be available on our YouTube channel here.

23 – 30 March 2025 is being highlighted as a week of prayer and it would be great if as many of our churches as possible could be praying as they gather throughout that week.

There will also be opportunities for prayer at the Baptist Assembly in May and in various Regional Association events throughout the year.
 

Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”  Your face, Lord, I will seek.
Psalm 27:7-8
