The event will be live-streamed at sbc.net/pray and on the SBC Executive Committee’s Facebook page.
The Live event will include times of Scripture reading and focused prayer to address specific needs related to the pandemic, according to Floyd, who is inviting and encouraging all Southern Baptists along with other Christians to participate. […]”
