Call to prayer for church in Colombia

This week our siblings in faith in Colombia are asking us for prayers regarding the wave of protests and violence that has broken out across the country. Protesters took to the streets and called for a national strike today, May 5, in protest of a new tax law that is being proposed that will further repress small business and those living in economic insecurity who are already the hardest hit due to the pandemic. There are also new healthcare and pension reforms that also affect low-income families. 

Making Kimchi at Annual Church Gathering

"Becoming an intercultural church is tricky, messy and smelly," said Pablo Kim at the MCEC Annual Church Gathering. Pablo, who has a MA in Intercultural Studies and is a PhD student at Emmanuel College with a specialty in peace and intercultural church, led 200 participants at the MCEC Annual Church Gathering in reflecting on church, discipleship, differences and kimchi making.

It was a unique meeting as participants gathered over Zoom with their devices set up in their kitchens. Throughout the screens, many were cutting, mixing and blending as Pablo led a conversation on becoming an intercultural church.
