February 1
(Church Education Sunday) |
Today is Education Sunday in Mennonite Church Canada
and Mennonite Church USA and we have much to be grateful for! Thank
God for enabling the Mennonite Church to generate a broad range of
educational materials for schools and churches. Pray that through
schools, churches and teachers, the Holy Spirit will inspire enthusiasm
and commitment to our calling to engage the world with the reconciling
Gospel of Jesus Christ. |

Your support of Mennonite Church Canada makes it possible
for Elsie Rempel to produce important faith forming resources for
all ages within the church. Resources include At Home devotional
booklets for Advent and Lent, KidsPak Projects, downloadable Children’s
stories, Special Sunday worship resources, Season of Prayer resources,
and more. |
February 8 |
With your support, MC Canada Witness has a presence
in Israel/Palestine. Hinke Loewen-Rudgers, a long-term Witness worker,
is exploring ways to build relationships with churches in Galilee
and the West Bank. Palmer and Ardys Becker are on a Special Assignment
with Witness to teach at Bethlehem Bible College. Pray that God will
open doors to strong and fruitful relationships for these workers.
Pray also that the Holy Spirit will inspire a ceasefire in Israel
and Palestine and encourage leaders in those areas to take innovative
steps toward true and lasting reconciliation. |
Your support has enabled Mennonite Church Canada to
share the Gospel of Peace across Latin America through workshops,
leadership training and church partnerships. This ongoing embrace
of Anabaptism has resulted in the creation of the Anabaptist
Christian Resource Centre for Peace (CERCAPAZ) in Chile and the birth of a
new Mennonite Church in Cuba, as well as the celebration of 10 years
of mission in Brazil for JIMMI (the Brazilian Mennonite Mission Board).
Thank you for sharing your prayers and resources to make these developments
possible. |
February 15 |
Please pray that the vibrant ministry of MC Canada
Witness/ Mennonite Mission Network workers, Vic
and Kathy Thiessen,
through the London Mennonite Centre (LMC) will continue to touch
believers and non-believers alike across the UK. The LMC offers seminars
and training programs about Anabaptism through a variety of network
connections, and operates the mail-order Metanoia Bookstore. |

From staplers to computers, from paper to telephones – all
are basic equipment and supplies Mennonite Church
Canada staff and
international workers use to accomplish their work. Your support
helps outfit workers for the work that we do together with you. Thank
you! |
| February 22 |
An increasing number of families focus on the season of Lent with
their children by using the At Home Lent Resources that are downloadable
at www.mennonitechurch. ca/tiny/689. Pray that families will grow
in their identification with Jesus and his earthly journey as God-with-us. |
With your support, Witness workers Jeff and
Tany Warkentin are
helping to grow a new church in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso, that provides
spiritual encouragement and mentoring to young adults studying at
the local university. Meet some members of this young congregation
and learn how faith has impacted their lives at: www.mennonitechurch.ca/tiny/310 |
