An Offering of Prayers

Mennonite peace workers rely on their relationship with God, their commitment to Christ's call to peace and justice and their dependence on the Spirit to guide them. These folks yearn for your prayers-both your time holding them to God in prayer and your written notes letting them know you are praying for them.

Consider inviting a local group of believers to spend time in prayer for peace workers, and then write the workers and let them know about your prayers. Perhaps this is a one-time event; perhaps it becomes part of your local life together. Maybe you'll form a continuing relationship with someone taking a risk for peace that affects how you read the news and live.

Here are websites of Mennonite-related groups to help you find names, current events for prayer, staff names and addresses to send written prayers:
