Nov. 26


For over 50 years Texas Baptists had a formal partnership with Minnesota/Wisconsin Baptist Convention that included church planting and leadership development. This two-state convention has mainly small churches served by bi-vocational pastors. Distance is great between churches which makes opportunities for fellowship, learning, and worship together a challenge. Pray that someone will encourage these pastors today.

A key ministry for those who serve in MWBC is the annual Pastors/Wives Retreat held at Green Lake Convention Center, Green Lake, WI. Dr. Leo Endel, MWBC executive director, said, “This is the best attended convention event of each year. So many of our folks look forward to this time of refreshment in the dark days of February. It has the effect of holding our churches and leaders together in a region where distances isolate most of our churches and church plants.”

Pray for the pastor’s wife as she works alongside their husband while balancing family and career. Pray she will be encouraged today through a song, spoken word, touch, or activity.
Endel expresses overflowing gratitude for the investment Texas Baptists continue to make in pastors and church planters who serve in a very challenging part of the United States. Pray for Dr. Leo Endel and the convention staff as they seek opportunities for Minnesota and Wisconsin.
