Day Of Prayer - June 2026

Prayer requests, praise reports & monthly devotional

Urgent Prayers Needed For The Field in all regions:

MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL

Baptism: The First Step of Obedience

In the book of Acts, baptism follows faith quickly and clearly. Those who heard the gospel, believed, and confessed Christ were baptized without delay. This happened in Jerusalem, Samaria, on the desert road, in homes, and even in the night with the jailer and his family. Again and again, the pattern is the same: faith in Christ was followed by immediate baptism.
