Prayer Concerns
MCEC in Prayer
Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations. This week we are praying for Avon Mennonite Church. Troy Watson and Stephen Kennedy provides pastoral leadership for this community. Pray for this congregation as they strive to be a welcoming community where people can experience belonging, encounter God’s presence, and grow.
In this Advent season of longing and light, we pray for peace to break into every corner of our world. May the hope we await in Christ soften hearts, heal conflict and guide all nations toward justice and compassion.
Mennonite World Conference
Please do pray for Nepali government to rule without discrimination to Christian people. Pray for the Christian community – particularly the BIC churches in Nepal – to serve God in their communities without fear. Please pray for economic resources in Nepal and for young people for their future and their lifestyle.
