Special prayers are to be said for the new General Secretary of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Rev Jonathan Edwards, as he prepares to take up his new position.
As celebrations are concluded at the ‘Leading Edge 2006’ event on Sunday 20 August, the President of the Baptist Union, the Rev Dr Kate Coleman, and other BUGB representatives will lay hands on Jonathan and pray for an anointing on his new ministry.
Dr Coleman has specifically called on all Baptist churches to make 20 August a day of special prayer for Jonathan and the staff at Baptist House in Didcot.
Dr Edwards, who will officially take up the new position as the BUGB General Secretary on 1 September, said: “Without prayer we will go nowhere, so I am delighted that the start of my ministry as General Secretary will be baptised in prayer at Leading Edge.
