Baptist World Alliance

Cares for the hungry and homeless of the world by providing food, medicine, encouragement and hope. Defends the oppressed and persecuted by promoting human rights and religious freedom.

How do you help people in my community?

The Baptist World Alliance is an international organization with a global vision to care and support people in need.  We help people in every community by providing them with an opportunity to make a difference in the world, working through their networks and organizations with the knowledge they already have.  People want their lives to count for something and want a sense of significance that they can affect the world beyond them. Through the BWA, and the relief work of our aid and development division, BWAid, people can network with individuals and churches around the world knowing that their efforts are making the world a better, healthier, safer place.

Why do you need my support?

There is so much need, and such urgency to help those suffering the most. The problems seem too large but with everyone contributing what they can, there will be enough to change lives for the better.  Your prayers and gifts, however small, when pooled with those from our other friends, can determine whether or not we can feed a child, dig a well, and provide HIV/AIDS medicines.  Every thirty seconds a child dies of starvation in our world.  Christians are being forced from their churches and communities and Bibles are being burned.  We want to stop suffering and stand up to persecution.  And you can help.
You, your church or Baptist organization may like to become a mission partner of the Alliance.  For a small annual donation, you can support the Alliance and also share in the ministries of the Alliance around the world.  For a membership application, please call our Member Services at our office: 703-790-8980, ext. 171, or bwa@bwanet.org..

How can I be sure that you will use my money wisely and won't waste it?

Our administrative expenses, including fundraising, are always less than 10%.  Our annual report and the most recent audits are available on request by calling 703-790-8980 x 171.  We pledge to you that we will honor your trust in us by being fiscally responsible and will work hard to accomplish the tasks before us.
