Philadelphia Baptist Association
(PBA)
July 2, 2026
The Philadelphia Baptist Association (PBA) family expresses our unwavering love, prayers, and solidarity with our Haitian siblings. We celebrate their vibrant faith, their resilience, and the profound ways they enrich our congregations and communities.
We see the heavy burdens and anxieties they carry regarding the ongoing hardships in Haiti and the uncertainty surrounding their immigration status. As a diverse, multicultural association, we stand with our brothers and sisters, and echo the call for dignity, safety, and justice for all Haitian families.
To our Haitian siblings in Christ please be assured that the PBA remains committed to:
- Praying for you: Both here in the Philadelphia region and abroad.
- Advocating for your rights: Using our voice to stand against injustice and xenophobia.
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.” (Isaiah 41:10). Your brothers and sisters at the PBA are here for you, and we will continue to walk this journey together as one body in Christ.
