International (MNN)–Baptist World Alliance leaders are urging believers around the world to continue to work together for religious freedom.
That, in support of a new BWA project, with plans to launch a global evangelization strategy during next year’s centennial BWA World Congress.
The program is a five-year evangelism emphasis featuring “Living Water” conferences around the world. BWA General Secretary Denton Lotz said the alliance has received a $600,000 matching grant to help fund evangelism training and rallies throughout the effort. Tony Cupit, BWA’s director of evangelism and education, will coordinate the world evangelization strategy.
Timed to encourage believers, BWA leaders say no other time in history has seen more persecution against Christians.
