Prayer Concerns
MCEC in prayer
Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations. This week we pray for Chin Christian Church in Kitchener, and for Jehu Lian and Joseph Raltong, who provide pastoral leadership to this community. Many in this congregation have family and friends in Myanmar who are suffering amid ongoing violence and instability. Lord, hear our prayer.
Mennonite World Conference
On Feb. 10th, the military junta of Myanmar launched air strikes in the village of Tlangkhua. The bomb killed 6 people instantly and seriously injured many others in the village of civilians.
Most of the victims are part of MWC’s member church, Bible Missionary Church, Mennonite. Among the dead were the deacon, the treasurer and 2 youth leaders. Eleven church members need emergency medical treatment.
“Currently, there is an urgent need for medical care for the seriously injured and immediate assistance for the families of the deceased Mennonites.
“Tlangkhua village is my hometown and is a predominantly Mennonite village. Most of the people who have died are my cousins and relatives.
“All international Mennonites, please pray. We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your involvement with us at this time,” says an MWC leader in Myanmar.
The bombing is part of a larger pattern of attacks on civilians, including attacks on neighbouring Matupi township the previous day.
Please pray for those grieving and suffering in Myanmar. Please also pray for the military junta to turn away from this strategy of harming its citizens.
