Mennonite Church Canada Prayer /Notes
Please pray for the Brazil Mennonite Mission Agency (JMMI), a partner of Mennonite Church Canada, that was formed ten years ago in response to a vision to participate in mission internationally. Since then, mission workers have been sent to Mozambique and parts of Brazil with a new congregation emerging in Palmas, Tocantins. Additional ministry opportunities are being considered in Northern Brazil and in England.
Mennonite Church Canada walks with and encourages the church in Brazil with grants. The church is strengthening it‘s relationship with other churches in the region and beyond as it defines its role in the international Anabaptist family. Thank you for your support of this ministry.
