Pray that much needed supplies will reach the island nation quickly. Pray that amid the stress of shortages added to rebuilding after November&#8217;s hurricane and more severe weather, people would take care of each other, sharing resources like the boy with five loaves and two fish (Matthew 14:19) so that everyone has enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Templo Menonita Enmanuel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;\" class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20240121TemploMenonitaEnmanuelWhatsApp-Image-2024-01-23-at-02.21.00.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image lazyload\" alt=\"Sunday service in a Mennonite church Cuba\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/563;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20240121TemploMenonitaEnmanuelWhatsApp-Image-2024-01-23-at-02.21.00.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20240121TemploMenonitaEnmanuelWhatsApp-Image-2024-01-23-at-02.21.00-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20240121TemploMenonitaEnmanuelWhatsApp-Image-2024-01-23-at-02.21.00-768x432.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-dark-blue-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-dark-blue-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-127127 prayers type-prayers status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.009), 0.88rem);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:1px;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-7f5e002792f5b2db2b220d856ffe9715 wp-block-post-date has-text-color has-gray-color\"><time datetime=\"2026-04-21T10:42:44+00:00\">21 April 2026<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pray for stability and growth of 15 new Mennonite congregations established in Kenya\u2019s hardship area of Turkana. This region faces chronic water scarcity, food insecurity and malnutrition especially among children, extreme poverty, with vast majority of people living below the poverty line and high maternal\/child mortality. All these are largely caused by recurring droughts exacerbated by climate change, degrading ecosystems and unsustainable agricultural practices. Access to healthcare and education is poor due to vast distances, nomadic lifestyles, cultural beliefs and limited infrastructure, while resource conflicts and governance challenges further compound these issues, forcing displacement and increasing vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014Bishop George Ochieng, Kenya<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Liesa Unger<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;\" class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image lazyload\" alt=\"\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1707;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20171015LiesaUngerDSC_0321-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-dark-blue-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-dark-blue-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-126977 prayers type-prayers status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><div style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.009), 0.88rem);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:1px;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-7f5e002792f5b2db2b220d856ffe9715 wp-block-post-date has-text-color has-gray-color\"><time datetime=\"2026-04-14T12:39:14+00:00\">14 April 2026<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pray for the leadership in Colombia, as well as the workers in the churches they are planting.
