Mennonite Church Canada
This Advent, as we think about and thank God for what we have, do not have, and still want (see 'Living simply,' page 5), pray for:
* Nima, a widow with three children who received a new home in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, through the help of Joint Christian Services International (JCS). Marlow Ramsay, MC Canada Witness worker with JCS, was involved in helping Nima and her family get a home after learning about how she found needed items for survival by sorting through garbage.
* Neill and Edith von Gunten, co-directors of Native Ministry, as they travel across Canada to network with other Christian organizations that work with aboriginal people, many of whom live in Third World conditions in Canada. Pray that, as individuals and organizations, we may all be good stewards of what God has granted to all peoples.
* Students who want to learn, but cannot afford tuition. In particular, remember students of Benin Bible Institute as they study and learn to become leaders in their communities. Pray for Bruce Yoder and Nancy Frey, MC Canada Witness workers in Benin, as they teach from an Anabaptist perspective and train church leaders for tomorrow.
