Baptist Union General Secretary the Rev Lynn Green has invited Baptists join her in lighting beacons of prayer across the UK.

Lynn believes that God is calling us to prayer to “make space” for him to speak and move, and is looking for “people inspired to pray and seek the Lord, not with our own agenda but simply that we might draw close to Him and open ourselves and our churches to him so that he would have the freedom to move amongst us and through us by his Spirit.”

“My first role is to devote myself to prayer for God’s new thing and to call Baptists to join me in beginning to light these beacons of prayer,” she says. “I shared this with the Baptist Steering Group and they also feel that this is God’s word to us now.’

As an encouragement to pray Lynn has created Beacons of Prayer – posting short passages of Scripture that she will be using to inspire her own praying.

“I hope that they may help others to join us as we pray together,” says Lynn. “I have no idea where this will lead but I am being obedient in taking the first step and trusting the Lord for what comes next.”
