Pray for Mexico, Sunday, January 11, 2009

Lectionary Text and Prayers for Mexico: Mark 1:4-11

God, we thank you for the church’s call to preach the Good News of forgivenness of sins and to make disciples who will share your love with others. We pray today for our partner churches in Mexico as they seek to faithfully carry out these ministries in Jesus name. We ask you to bless the work of the Mission Round Table which unites the two Disciples denominations and the Congregational churches in a common effort to carry out your mission in Mexico. We pray also for the institutions and programs responsible for leadership training and theological education. We ask that you might raise up strong leaders in the line of John the Baptist. Amen

(Prayer by Bob Shebeck)
