If you're a British Baptist (BUGB, BUS or BUW variety) you will know that BMS has had significant shortfalls in income over the last few years and now faces the possibility of staff cuts. A phone call this morning from someone directly affected by this made it all very real. Please pray for those who lives are affected by the very real possibility of redundancy and upheaval. Please also pray for those who face the responsibilties of making these tough and painful decisions.
If you happen to be a Baptist, please also consider carefully and prayerfully your financial giving to BMS (and for that matter HMF which directly affects me!) - we are all responsible in some measure for this situation.
