BAPTIST WOMEN’S SUMMIT, 7-8 July 2025
Well, that’s a wrap
Taking place in Brisbane just before the Baptist World Congress, the Baptist Women’s Summit was a one-of-a-kind, quinquennial (every five years) event bringing Baptist sisters together from around the world. They were there for a unified time of worship, prayer, leadership development, and ministry mobilization.
