For this blog, I will be reflecting on an article. Link is provided below.
The article begins with mentioning the calling of Baptist leaders all around the world for global prayer for peacemaking efforts and for churches and communities affected by ethnic strife in northeast India. This article was interesting to read because first of all, I have not heard at all about any conflicts in India and is apparent that this is a big issue as the story describes many villages being burned down and 12,500 people being homeless. This story is important because it informs us about our brothers and sisters in Christ in India who need our assistance. As a global community of Christians, I believe it is beneficial to be knowledgeable of the environment and condition of other believers around the world. That is also why I believe ministries like the Baptist Standard are relevant to our culture and context today; they keep us up to date on current news and events such as this around the globe.
