Albany Presbytery and Mam Presbyterio Prayer Partners/Compañeros de oració
In March of this year, the Albany Presbytery team had a most productive meeting with the leadership of the Mam Presbytery. Among our sharing was their demonstrating to us their innovative way of exploring the Bible in churches, a true sharing of the joys and struggles in ministry, and a desire to establish prayer partners among our congregations.
Mayfield Presbyterian Church has been paired with Agua Blanca Aldea Church in San Juan Ostuncalco. We will mention them in prayer each Sunday and as we establish a relationship with the church we will find out specific needs that they have for prayer. This is simply a prayer partnership. Who doesn’t need a little more prayer. Agua Blanca Aldea Church will also be praying for Mayfield Pres every Sunday also.
If you have particular prayers that you think our church can use, please let Pastor Bonnie know., Periodically we will update you on the prayer partnership and let you know more about our prayer partner church in Guatemala.
