More than 250 pastors, church leaders and delegates, the largest in recent history, are attending the Lott Carey Spring Missions Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, March 23-25.

A hybrid event, virtual and in-person, the conference is for strategic planning, program updates, missions training, worship, and inspiration. It includes morning devotion, morning and evening worship services, and live interactive plenary sessions.

This is the first largescale meeting for the global mission agency since the Covid-19 pandemic. The gathering will explore the theme, “Reimagine – Doing Missions/Ministry in a Post-Covid World.” Participants will examine issues affecting Christian ministry and mission, the church, and the broader society, including social justice and climate change.

President Rev. Dr. Gina Stewart will lay out her emphases for the ensuing year at a worship service hosted by Ray of Hope Christian Church in Decatur, whose founder and senior pastor is Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Hale.

Executive Secretary/Treasurer Rev. Emmett Dunn will present the State of Lott Carey address. The board will receive reports and consider matters important to Lott Carey’s ministry and mission programs.

Preachers, presenters, and facilitators include Dr. Clifford Jones Sr., senior pastor, Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Charlotte, North Carolina; Dr. Cynthia Turner-Wood, senior pastor, Dayspring Community Church, Lanham, Maryland; Rev. Willie D. Francois, III, senior pastor, Mount Zion Baptist Church, Pleasantville, New Jersey; Dr. TaNikka Sheppard, president of Baptist Women of North America; and Minister Joyce Woodson, Environmental Justice Co-Lead at the Alfred Street Baptist Church, Alexandria, Virginia.

Lott Carey is Praying for Ukraine

Lott Carey is Praying for Ukraine

As the war in Ukraine continues, we unite our voices in prayer with churches and people of faith around the globe. We are grieved by the loss of life caused by unwarranted and unprovoked conflict. Every nation has a right to self-determination and the right to live in harmony with their neighbors. We stand in solidarity with those protesting and fighting for their freedom and independence in Russia. We pray for protection from devastation against the atrocities of war for all whose lives and well-being are endangered. As followers of the Prince of Peace, we call and pray for a cessation of the violence and peaceable courses of action.

Rev. Dr. Gina M. Stewart
President
Lott Carey

I am genuinely concerned about the complete disregard for life and respect for the rule of international laws by the actions of the Russian Federation toward Ukraine. The Lott Carey family stands with the people of Ukraine and pray that these acts of violence will come to an immediate end. In times like these, the church must continue to speak truth to power and advocate on behalf of those crying out from bomb shelters and refugee camps. Lott Carey has committed funds to assist with food and medical supplies. We are working in partnership with the Baptist World Alliance.

Rev. Emmett L. Dunn
Executive Secretary/Treasurer
Lott Carey

Ukraine is going through special, difficult moments in its history. It is a time of trials, difficulties, anxieties. We call on all churches and every Christian to raise their voice to heaven.

Rev. Valery Antonyuk
President
All-Ukrainian Union of Evangelical Baptist Churches

In 2022, the WISE leadership team is calling everyone to get involved in five ways:

  1. Pausing to increase awareness about the intersectionality of sexism and racism.
  2. Praying to end structural gendered racism fueling violence against women.
  3. Pledging your support for the Lott Carey WISE social media campaign, Thursdays in Black, in partnership with the World Council of Churches and the Ecumenical Women at the United Nations.
  4. Posting your selfies on various social media platforms on Thursdays, dressed in black, standing in solidarity with women victimized by gender-based violence.
  5. Participating each morning on the 31 Days of Prayer call. We invite 100 prayer warriors to invite 10 prayer warriors to join the 6AM call. You do the math, 1000 seasoned saints called and committed to give $31.00 or more supporting women’s empowerment.
What a powerful statement we would make commemorating the Reverend Lott Cary’s Bicentennial Anniversary and the Tenth Anniversary of the Prayer Guide, supporting women and girls victimized by gendered racism and gender based violence.

Pray for Nigeria

All are invited to join us in prayer for Nigeria and our partners in the West African nation.
Lott Carey projects in Nigeria include:

  • Support for more than 80 churches, pastors, and community ministries
  • Six primary and secondary schools

“Since our mission field here is engaged in evangelical, educational and people empowerment programs, there will always be opportunities for interested individuals or groups to get involved.”
–Kenneth C. Ebong, Lott Carey Baptist Mission, Nigeria

 

We pray for:
Lott Carey Mission Partners
§ Lott Carey Baptist Mission, Nigeria

The churches, people, and government of Nigeria

We are thankful:

  • That through it all — COVID-19 disruption, economic hardship and the apparent rise of violence and insecurity in the country — God is working through our Mission here in Nigeria.
  • For all the churches and persons who continue to be Lott Carey’s helpers; who, despite the global unsettling health situation, continue to be faithful to the call to reach out across the USA, and the world

We praise God:

  • For the impact of our schools on host communities, such as the construction of new apartment homes and small retail shops
  • For the Women in Service Everywhere Micro-loan Scheme that helped an additional 20 women in their small businesses
  • That Nigeria has not been as badly affected by Covid-19 as feared

We pray for:

  • The peace of Nigeria; for the first time since the mid-sixties, Nigeria is on the edge of civil war
  • The safety of pastors, who are sometimes attacked as they travel to fulfill their calling and mission
  • Our schools, and the safety of students from abduction, an increasing occurrence in Nigeria

From Rev. Kenneth C. Ebong
Superintendent, Lott Carey Baptist Mission, Nigeria
