Mennonite Church Canada: Tom & Christine Poovong provide pastoral leadership to a new Mennonite church in Thailand and they recently opened a nursery for
children 3 months - 3 years old. Pray that this business venture will be a good reflection of Christ in the community & will become strong enough to sustain the
ministry of the church. To support their ministry, visit the Mennonite Church Canada website and follow the links to donate to projects by country.
