Call to prayer for Myanmar

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:17,18) 

Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer! 

On 30 March 2023, military aerial bombardment of a village in Chin State in Myanmar killed a dozen villagers including the pastor’s daughter and several members of MWC member church Bible Missionary Church. Many villagers were severely injured, including the local pastor. Please pray for solace for all those affected. Pray for an end to violence.  

The Spirit of Jesus empowers us to trust God in all areas of life so we become peacemakers who renounce violence, love our enemies, seek justice, and share our possessions with those in need. 
—Shared Conviction 5
