PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR EXCO CANDIDATES AND FOR THE NCC

Please pray for our ExCo candidates for President-elect and At-large Member, and for the National Coordinating Council, which will meet in May and June to discern whom God is calling to elect.

Dear God, We give thanks for those you have called through our nomination process, and we speak their names in prayer, asking for their continued patience, guidance, and grace as they await the discernment of our NCC to elect new members of our National Leadership Team (ExCo).

Cong-Anh Pham | Lily de Leon | Frank Vuong | Minh Thủy Lê | Chieu-Lan Nguyễn | Laura Molina | Liem Le

We ask for the guidance of your Spirit when our NCC members meet to discern who is called to serve at this time on our leadership team. Guide them in their prayer, sharing, and listening, so that together we may hear the voice of your Spirit and respond to your will for our community.

In love and gratitude we pray,

in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen

In CVX-CLC We are grateful for this team!

In the last monthly meeting, the CLC in USA Globalization & Poverty Frontier reflected on how to live more deeply the call of Fratelli Tutti: fostering fraternity, honoring human dignity, and responding to the cries of those most affected by global injustice.
The group shared updates on UN National Events, the African Encounter, the Samaritan Project, regional initiatives, and the upcoming May G&P Prayer, while exploring new ways to collaborate with other Frontiers.
Their mission remains clear: to walk with vulnerable communities and shine a light on the challenges faced by our global brothers and sisters.
