SASKATCHEWAN CONFERENCE OF MENNONITE BRETHREN CHURCHES
Time to Refuel and Recharge
The Provincial Pastoral Retreat begins in just two weeks. Pray for Paul Woodburn as prepares to speak at this retreat from the Gospel of John. Pray that no circumstances will arise that might prevent pastors and spouses from attending the retreat.
Leaders Trek to Church Planting Congress
During the week of November 17-20 the Church Planting Canada Congress will be meeting in Calgary. Pray for the fifteen leaders from a variety of Saskatchewan MB churches who will be there. Pray for an inspiration for making disciples and figuring out effective ways of reaching our communities for Christ.
September's Prayer Focus is ...
Pray that our eyes will be open to the spiritual harvest. Jesus said �Do you not say, �Four months more and then the harvest�? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.� John 4:35
MENNONITE BRETHREN MISSIONS AND SERVICES INTERNATIONAL
The work of sharing the gospel in Japan is a work of sowing seeds, watching them grow and preparing for the harvest. Pray for Doris Goertz as she uses her English teaching skills to bring people inside the Amagaski MB Church and build relationships with them that will allow her to share God�s love.
THE CANADIAN CONFERENCE OF MENNONITE BRETHREN CHURCHES
This fall, several churches and staff will be involved in ReFocusing, a revitalization process facilitated through Church Health ministries of the Canadian conference. Please keep those engaging in this process in your thoughts and prayers.
