Networking the Baptist Family to Transform Vulnerable Communities
with the Compassion of Christ

He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God? — Micah 6:8 (ESV)

The Relief and Development ministry of the Baptist World Alliance

BWAid is committed to responding to vulnerability in partnership with those most affected.

Guided by the call to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God through collaboration with BWA member partners, we empower local churches to mobilize their resources, meet the challenges in their communities, and create pathways to lasting transformation.

We are challenged to generously love our neighbor, we respond to people in need, collaborate in times of crisis, network agencies, support sustainability and creation care, strengthen capacity, and empower local church engagement. We also resource aid, relief, and community development projects. The goal is to partner with God to usher in a more just world.
