Our nation & those in authority.

1 Timothy 2: 1-2 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

  • Please pray for the church in Michigan, CrossPointe Community Church, for God’s protection from evil threats and the church’s preparation for emergency situations. 
  • Please pray for those in authority in our country.  
  • The recent violence in Israel and instability in the Middle East are reminders that we must depend on the Lord. We ask you to continue to pray for the salvation of those without a relationship with Jesus Christ, healing for the suffering, and peace among the nations that can only come from the Prince of Peace. 

Our Extended Family & Friends:

  • Dan and Eileen Parker about praying their grandson, Thomas Francis Kelly IV was born on 6/20 by emergency C-section at only 26 weeks.

  • Drew Huber’s father, Woody Huber, who is back in the hospital due to issues with his bladder removed. 
  •  Pray for First Choice as they prepare to go before the U.S. Supreme Court this fall. They are petitioning unlawful subpoena by the NJ Attorney General.
  • Please continue to pray for Lenore Tosi’s cousin, Nancy Leavitt, who suffered a stroke. She is making slow and steady progress. Please pray she receives the maximum time at the rehab facility which she is now in. And continue to pray for her healing and that she will come to know Him through this ordeal.  
  • Please pray for the Christians in Nigeria who were persecuted and killed on June 13th – 14th. Please pray for comfort and healing for all who have been affected by this and pray that God would fill them with hope. Please pray especially for the women and girls who have been abducted and assaulted that God would set them free and restore them to their families.

Missionary Partner for the week: Tom and Alicia Vosters – Ministering in Cambodia with World Team

Tom and Alicia Vosters direct the Cambodia Dorm ministry in Phnom Penh. The dorm ministry aims to invest and equip the next generation to lead the Cambodian Church. They are intentional in their time and efforts with the students and leaders to achieve this end. While leading World Team Cambodia, Tom and Alicia also enjoy dedicating part of their time to World Team’s Leader Cohort and other Global training projects.  They get involved in the lives of other leaders who God is using to share the Gospel and build His Church worldwide. The Vosters hope to include a short visit to the States to visit their sons Mason and Camryn who are here working on summer projects.

Persecuted Church: Christian Escapes Being Burned Alive

When Adamu Musa Ubandoma’s community realized that he had become a Christian, they attempted to burn him alive. He escaped, but burn marks are still visible on his head. His two daughters were then taken and given in marriage to Muslim men, and his wife was also kidnapped. All his belongings were burned and his cows confiscated. But Adamu says that nothing will separate him from the love of Christ. Before he placed his faith in Christ, he was a drug addict and a member of the Islamic militant group Boko Haram. He is thankful because God delivered him from his addiction and taught him how to forgive. Adamu requests prayer that his wife and two daughters will be able to follow Christ and that his relationships with them will be restored. He also asks for prayer to be able to deeply understand the Word of God and for healing for his paralyzed father, who does not know Christ.

Dear MBC community, Ensuring excellence in our communication is vital for a cohesive and impactful church identity. To uphold this standard, all public church communications will undergo a thoughtful review by our Communications department. This encompasses various platforms such as Enews, Website, social media, Praise and Prayer, and more. We appreciate your creativity and individuality in personal communications, yet on public platforms, we seek to maintain a consistent tone and quality. This oversight is a collective effort to present the best of MBC, supported by the insights of our dedicated Communications team and church leaders. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration in this endeavor.

Our Sunday service LiveStream is exclusively on our Channel.
