Join us at Westminster Baptist Church as we journey through Holy Week, a sacred time of reflection, remembrance, and renewal. From the triumph of Palm Sunday to the sorrow of the cross and the joy of the resurrection, each moment draws us deeper into the heart of the Gospel.

 

We invite you, your family, and friends to walk with us through these powerful days.

Week of Prayer

Holy Week calls us into deeper communion with Christ through prayer and the Word. As we follow Jesus from the joyful praises of Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:9), to His servant heart at the Last Supper (John 13:14-15), and into the sorrow of Gethsemane (Luke 22:42), we are invited to watch and pray with Him. At the foot of the cross on Good Friday (Isaiah 53:5), we remember the cost of love. And as we await the dawn of Resurrection Sunday, we hold fast to His promise: “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25).

Let prayer be our posture, Scripture our anchor, and Christ our hope.

DAY 1
Higher Education – West Lafayette, Indiana
 
According to Jordan Adams, Purdue University, home to 41,000 students, is “the perfect place to plant a church.” Jordan and his wife, Jessamy, helped start a new work at Purdue that not only baptized 81 new believers in its first year but is now sending students to help plant more new churches in other campus communities.
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • Thousands of students to meet Jesus at Purdue.
  • God to send mature adults to the Adams’ church plant who can disciple new believers.
  • God to equip and send graduating students to other communities where they can help plant more new churches.

DAY 2
The Fix – Tappahannock, Virginia
 
In a previous life, Fred and Casey Weymouth were drug addicts living on the streets of Richmond, Virginia. But when they found Jesus, Fred says, “something got rearranged inside us.” Now, they’ve planted a church called The Fix that ministers to those in recovery, their families, and the local community.
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • Individuals in The Fix’s recovery and discipleship program to grow in their walk with Christ.
  • More encounters on the streets of Richmond that lead to gospel conversations.
  • Opportunities for Fred and Casey to start similar ministries and church plants in other cities.
  •  

DAY 3
Where There’s a Will – Tappahannock, Virginia
 
Will Buchanan, who is now the pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Hanover, Virginia, is one of Fred Weymouth’s favorite success stories. They met several years ago when Will was at his drug addicted worst. Fred, who leads a church plant and a residential recovery program called The Fix, took in Will. Now Will is not what he once was.
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • God to thoroughly equip Will so he can lead his new church well.
  • The men and women at The Fix to discover God’s gospel purpose for their lives.
  • Fred and others at The Fix to build witnessing relationships with people who need healing and hope.
  •  

DAY 4
Frequently Asked Questions – Montreal, Quebec

 

Andrew Mark and Petra Adil got strange reactions when they went onto the streets of Montreal and shared Christ with people. That was to be expected in a place where less than 1% of the residents identify as evangelical. And yet God used those downtown gospel conversations to grow a new church in one of the most unchurched cities in North America.

 

Meet Andrew Mark and Petra

PRAY FOR
  • More fruit to come from Friday night on-the-street gospel conversations.
  • God to call and equip church planting interns out of Andrew Mark’s church who will help plant more new works.
  • More Christians to come and share Christ with the 99% of people in Quebec who are lost.
  •  

DAY 5
Raised From the Dead – Marrero, Louisiana
 
The timing was perfect. Ames Boulevard Baptist Church was just a couple of months away from closing its doors, and Troy and Chanel Gause had just planted a church that was looking for a place to meet. Troy and Chanel’s new congregation and Ames Boulevard’s remaining members replanted a new work—Cross Community Church. Now, it’s clear to everyone that God’s not done changing lives in Marrero, Louisiana.
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • Humility and understanding as members of Cross Community Church face change.
  • The new believers Troy has baptized to grow in their faith.
  • Growth and a gospel witness that the surrounding community will see and be drawn to.
  •  

DAY 6
A God-Sized Story – Marrero, Louisiana
 
Leon and Javon Every hadn’t been to church in years. They were just the kind of people Troy Gause had in mind when he and the struggling congregation of what had once been Ames Boulevard Baptist Church replanted a brand new work in the Every’s neighborhood. Now, seven baptisms later, “the rest,” according to Javon Every, “is history.”
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • Leon and Javon to grow close to the Lord and close to each other.
  • More of Leon and Javon’s family to hear the gospel and give their lives to Christ.
  • God to draw more unchurched families from the surrounding community to the new church.
  •  

DAY 7
Dream Big – Rio Grandé, Puerto Rico
 
Rio Grandé, Puerto Rico, is home to over 46,000 people, so when Oscar and Wendy Ortiz started a church there, they knew just one new congregation wouldn’t be enough. Now, volunteer mission teams with Send Relief are helping their still-small church plant lay the groundwork for another new plant in another unreached community.
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • Send Relief teams to connect Oscar and Wendy to more people who are open to hearing the gospel.
  • God to raise up leaders in the church plant who can help start and grow a new work in the community of Loiza.
  • Doors to open in other nearby communities that need a gospel presence.
  •  

DAY 8
More Than a Gift
 
Annie Armstrong featured missionaries know better than just about anyone else that the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering is more than a gift. Every one of these missionaries has stories to tell about the unexpected and miraculous things God does when you pray and give.
 
 
PRAY FOR
  • North American missionaries to reach more lost people who need the hope and love of Christ.
  • North American missionaries to have the resources and encouragement they need to plant churches and meet needs.
  • God to call and equip more missionaries to make Jesus known in North America.
