Mennonite Church USA has called for a day of praying and fasting around the U.S. Elections on Monday, November 4th. We are currently participating from Cambodia – where it is Monday already – as Crystal and I set aside the moments opened to us by fasting for prayer.
Personally, I am praying that God’s transformative presence will bring healing and hope to the United States. I believe that most Americans would agree with me – regardless of political affiliation – when I say that my homeland is the most divided, troubled, and hurt that it has been in a very long time.
“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress. He sent out His word and healed them; He rescued them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the LORD for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for mankind.”
Psalm 107:19-21 NIV
We invite you to join us in fasting and praying for the people of the United States around election day. And, of course, we encourage you to vote as well. I received a notification last week that my absentee ballot had been received.
Thank you Charles.
🙏
