30-Day Devotional Book Available for Month of Prayer
September is the month that the DBC promotes their state mission offering and week of prayer. But the 2024 theme is, “We Always Pray,” so this year’s Baker emphasis will encourage churches to devote a month of prayer for God’s work across North and South Dakota.
The theme text for this year’s emphasis (and the DBC annual meeting) is 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12: “To this end also we pray for you always that our God may count you worthy of your calling and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power; in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Churches will soon receive a packet of sample resources. The packet will include several offering envelopes, posters, and for the first time, a 30-day devotional booklet. Churches can request extra supplies, including enough devotional books for everyone in their congregation. The devotional booklet will be available in both English and Spanish. The Spanish translation was completed by Diana Armenta (Sioux Falls, SD: Iglesia Bautista Cross Pointe).
The goal for the 2024 Baker Offering is $55,000. A link to request devotional books and additional envelopes or posters is available on the DBC website.
