A Nation Paused
Concern in Mexico changed overnight from its dangerous drug cartels to a deadly virus. The nation has been put on hold.
Fear in eyes, masks on faces. Schools, government offices, and museums have been closed. Public meetings, including church services, cancelled. Businesses and tourism are losing billions of pesos nationwide.
Mexico’s people are asked to suspend part of their identity (no Cinco de Mayo festivities) as well as part of their Latin culture (stop greeting one another with kisses and handshakes).
What more can this country take? Prayer – and a lot of it.
Please join us as we intercede:
- Pray for the sick; for an end to the suffering.
- Pray for families who have lost a loved one to the virus.
- Intercede for believers as they boldly pray for the sick and proclaim the Good News of eternal life.
- Ask for the peace of God to be felt across the land, and for many to commit their lives to the Prince of Peace.
- Pray for pastors, Christian leaders, and missionaries to remain healthy with a steadfast trust in the Lord.
May we see God’s hand at work in response to our prayers!
