ABN Day of Prayer set for May 20
Baptists across Arkansas are asked to pray May 20 not only for the work of their state newspaper, but also for the Lord of the harvest to work across Arkansas through the ministry of Arkansas Baptist churches and 
institutions. “The Arkansas Baptist News (ABN) Day of Prayer is a wonderful opportunity to bring attention to the significant work God is doing through Arkansas Baptists across the Natural State,” said Tim Yarbrough, ABN editor. “While the staff and trustees of the Arkansas Baptist News covet prayers for the work we do in furthering the gospel in our state, we feel it is important to bring attention to the entire scope of the ministries being carried out by Arkansas Baptists, their churches and institutions,” he said.
