Prayer Concerns
MCEC
Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations; this week we hold Hagerman Mennonite Church in prayer. Roberson Mbayamvula provides pastoral care to this community in Markham, Ontario. Pray for this congregation and their pastor as they seek to be people who receive God’s transforming love and become God’s servants in the world.
Mennonite World Conference
Pray for a lasting solution to the widening income disparity in the country, and that young people in our churches who are just starting up their lives could find good jobs, keep up with rising cost of living and high inflation, and also participate in addressing the economic gap. – Samson Omondi Ongode, Kenya
