Let’s pray for the nations!

Did you know we have member churches in 61 countries?

Do you want to know the triumphs and challenges faced by each of these countries, and how to pray for each one of them?

Now you can, with MWC prayer cards.

“Prayer is a tangible way we can be in solidarity with our global family of faith,” says Tigist Tesfaye.

“When I see a prayer card like this, it reminds me of comfort and hope. I see how prayer connects hearts, strengthens communities and encourages people during difficult moments,” says Pilar Aguirre, MWC generosity coordinator.

MWC’s monthly prayer cards are a call to remember Anabaptist siblings around the world, with a focus on praying for MWC member churches in one country each month. Each will contain a photo from a local congregation and a map of the country in context.

“We hope these cards will be useful for all ages. We want to help our members appreciate the diversity in our global family of faith,” adds Kristina Toews, MWC manager of communications.

You can find a new prayer card in each month’s MWC Info newsletter and on the MWC website. The cards can be printed postcard size and distributed.

“You can include the card in your congregation’s bulletin, use it in children’s ministry and share with prayer groups,” Kristina Toews says, “I use it to show my children that we have friends all over the world, and that we should pray for them.”

With 61 countries in our membership, it will take five years for MWC to issue a prayer card for every country. MWC always invites you to submit your prayer requests:
