Lord, today I lift up Matthew 25, our medical missions, our American Baptist work both here at home and around the globe. Remind us to do good and share with others as a pleasing sacrifice to You. Keep us outwardly focused so we don’t become self-absorbed. Help us teach one another to be faithful ministers of Your Son. Enable us to meet people wherever they have a need. Help us minister faithfully as we proclaim the gospel so that the ones we reach might become an acceptable offering to You.

Heavenly Father, enable your laborers to witness with great power and great grace in places to which you have called them. (Acts 4:33)
