This is a list of prayer requests from Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches and organizations around the world. They are sincere concerns from sisters and brothers who seek prayerful and occasionally practical support.
Bring these requests to your congregation. Then, report back to this network on what your congregation did by clicking on "REPORT" at the end of each prayer request. Reporting lets those who made requests know that friends around the world are praying for them. Clicking on "MORE INFORMATION" will provide you with additional details on the prayer request (when available). We bring this list to you in the hope that prayer may strengthen the witness for justice and peace in the global Anabaptist family.
May God bless you. March 4, 2003 — An Open Letter to Mennonite Churches Around the World Submitted by Jesus Village Church, Chun Chon, Gangwon Do, Republic of Korea Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ; Over the past several weeks, you have undoubtedly heard much talk about Korea in the news. A lot of attention has been focused on North Korea's threat to resume the production of nuclear weapons. As an Anabaptist Church, living in the midst of this Korean tension, we are appealing to Anabaptist-Mennonite Churches around the world to join us in prayer for peace and reconciliation. We invite you to pray for presidents Roh Moo-hyun of South Korea and Kim Jong Il of North Korea. Pray for other world leaders who may influence this situation for peace. And pray for Jesus Village Church and all the churches of Korea that God would use us to help bring about his will in a highly militarized context. We join you in praying, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
On behalf of Jesus Village Church leadership team;
