Associacão dos Irmãos Menonitas de Portugal (the MB church in Portugal) has been looking for a new place. Pray that God will guide them, and help them with the knowledge to deal with all this process and the funds to purchase another building.

Two of their churches used to function in different buildings: one used to be an African-based church, and the other Portuguese. Both are now uniting to become one. Pray that this process will be smooth and healthy and that will see spiritual fruits from it, especially unity and love. During the month of August, they will have outreach activities every Saturday in the new location of Massamá.

Pray that God will start meaningful relationships between the church and the neighborhood and that Christ will be known and accepted by many during the time. On 11 September 2022, they will have a big celebration to start the church year (which follows the school year): two teenagers will be baptized and there are more people interested. Pray for spiritual protection and that this day will be a day to witness Jesus to many of the non-believers that we intend to invite. May God bring some of them and impact their lives.

There are new and young leaders in our team of church leaders, pray that God will bring maturity, faith, encouragement, wisdom, and especially team spirit and unity, as well as training opportunities.

Renewing Spirit,
Help your church to be open, in fidelity to the gospel of Jesus,
to all possibilities in the coming of the new kinship – the kin-dom of God – on earth.
Help us to align our ways to sharing, social cohesion,
and symbiotic co-living between humans and the rest of creation;
to see creation as a cosmic web of living beings,
in which all creatures live in mutual interdependence.
Help your church to abide in a harmonious bond between the Source of being and all things.

Conflicts in some of our member churches continue to divide and discourage brothers and sisters in Christ. Please pray that the armour of God as in Ephesians 6:14 will be put on and the armour of actions given in Galatians 5:20-21 will be laid down for the church to be an effective witness to Christ in India.

We pray for God’s help to continue as a koinonia that transcends barriers of nationality, race, class, gender, language – and time and space. We pray for connection: that online participants in Assembly would not experience technical problems and that they would encounter the Anabaptist-Mennonite family at the event. We pray for the planting and cultivating of friendships that make space to learn, encourage each other and be mutually transformed. May we help each other in our task of witnessing to God’s grace by serving others, caring for creation, resisting conformation to the powers of evil, and inviting all people to know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

Pesan dari salah satu pemimpin gereja anggota MWC di Myanmar:  

Negara kami terkena dampak bencana global: kami menderita kemiskinan dan kelaparan yang ekstrim karena sanksi ekonomi internasional dan kekacauan internal akibat perang.  
Kami memohon dukungan doa khususnya untuk 51 keluarga misionaris dan pendiri gereja kami dan 415 keluarga anggota jemaat kami lainnya. Mereka telah pergi mengungsi dan meninggalkan rumah mereka dan saat ini mereka tinggal di dalam hutan. Mereka sudah lama tidak bisa bekerja dan kehilangan mata pencaharian mereka. Kekurangan bahan pangan adalah tantangan besar yang kami hadapi.  
Mohon doakan kami. Kami percaya bahwa doa dapat membuat perubahan.  
Di masa pergolakan yang paling sulit yang kami hadapi di Myanmar saat ini, Tuhan telah membuka pintu yang lebar untuk penginjilan. Ini adalah waktu yang paling berharga di ladang misi kami. Tuhan masih di bertahta.
