Beloved sisters and brothers:

Anabaptist-Mennonite people on all continents, please join in praying for peace in Burkina Faso, where a military coup took place 24 January 2022. Remember especially MWC member church Eglise Evangélique Mennonite du Burkina Faso as they minister and witness at this stressful time.

Even when “nations are in an uproar,” our God remains sovereign and “makes wars cease to the end of the earth... The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (Psalm 46).

J. Nelson Kraybill
President, MWC
