Back to the Annual Session of the American Baptist Churches of NJ: Ann Borquist, missionary to Brazil, urged us to think GLOCALLY (global+local)–
Lord, I pray for the safety of street kids in places like Russia, Brazil and Kenya; and I pray for the safety of the kids that linger on the corners in my own community.
Raise up peacemakers where gangs flourish–in Central America, in American cities and right here in my own town.
Provide for young mothers, Lord, struggling to sustain their families in refugee camps, in war zones and in my own neighborhood.
