Prayer Request
MC Canada News Release: On Wed morning, we awoke to heartbreaking news: a community, Tumbler Ridge, BC, has suffered the devastating impact of violence as an individual used a firearm to take the lives of 9 others & injured 25 people. We grieve all the lives lost. We pray for God’s healing presence to surround all who have been traumatized. And we bear witness to our hope—that God’s light still breaks into the deepest darkness of our world, a world in which such violence should never be possible. May Christ’s peace hold us as we lament, pray, & seek a more life‑giving way forward together. We pray with and for the people of Tumbler Ridge, BC.
