• Pray for Mennonite World Conference. May we have a broad vision for all the conferences represented. (Nicolás Largaespada, Nicaragua)
• Pray for MKC (Meserete Kristos Church) to continue its cross-cultural mission in the country and to start sending missionaries. Pray also for the Meserete Kristos College, that God would provide the necessary funds to build a campus on the land (60,000 sq. meters) received at almost no cost from the government. (Bedru Hussein, Ethiopia)
• Praise God for the following report: "We have been informed that the recent joint annual meeting of BGCMC in India has apparently brought unification to that body. The two main parties, at odds since 1994, met together this weekend and elected a single slate of officers for the coming year. Please pray that this rapprochement may last, and that other smaller factions will also be led to rejoin the renewed conference." (John F. Lapp, USA)
