"Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." 📖 Matthew 18:19-20

Jesus noted that heaven is enacted in the midst of community. When we connect with one another for mutual support, care, and accountability, we encounter a bit of God's desired connect for all people. We uplift one another.

Who do you find it agreeable to gather with in Jesus' name? Who is an important part of your faith community?

Join us in prayer for those impacted by devastating flash flooding along the border of Nepal and Tibet today. We pray especially for the families and loved ones of those who have died or remain missing, and for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.

As first responders assist survivors and search for the missing, UMCOR stands ready to support the response efforts of United Mission Nepal and other partners in the region.

"Then Jesus told his disciples, 'If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life? Or what will they give in return for their life?'" 📖 Matthew 16:24-26

How do Jesus' questions here shape your priorities? What are you working to gain? 💭

Please join us in prayer for the people of eastern Indonesia impacted by a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake today. Several large-scale aftershocks caused damage in other regions across the country as well.

At least 47 people have died, hundreds have been injured, and thousands of residents have been displaced from their homes. Disruptions to communications outages and damage to roadways have complicated search and rescue efforts, especially in remote villages.

UMCOR is in communication with our partners in the region, including the Methodist Church in Indonesia, and we stand ready to support their efforts to provide immediate relief to those in need.
