Churchnet July 2016 | Page 3

Early in July, more than 300 Baptist leaders from more than 50 nations trekked to Vancouver, Canada, for the annual gathering of the Baptist World Alliance (BWA). Churchnet is a member body of the BWA, which unites us with our global Baptist family for dialogue, missions, disaster relief, ministry, fellowship, and human rights advocacy.

Churchnet leaders who attended the meeting included Forestal Lawton (President), Jim Hill (Executive Director), Brian Kaylor (General Engagement Team Leader), and Doyle Sager (board member). We hope this issue helps you learn about the inspirational work of our global Baptist family.
