Praise:
“We are very grateful for the positive response, attendance, and unity we experienced at the Mexico Yearly Meeting sessions held in Aguascalientes, and the exciting reports each church gave about the hard work they are doing to continue expanding God’s kingdom in Mexico. It was very exciting to have confirmation from another young couple from Mexico City who are being prepared to be sent to one of the 32 states of Mexico under Vision Mexico 32. Glory to God!” (E & M G, Missions Mobilizers to Hispanic Friends)
Pray:
1. For the young couple in Mexico City who have begun the process of planting a new church.
2. For the seven other people who have begun training in the Friends Theological Institute in Mexico for God to confirm where they will be sent. (E & M G)

- Christian Ed – Meeting after worship TODAY.

- EFM Missionary Candidates for The Balkans “For progress in fundraising and in field planning, there is a lot to do still, but we see pieces coming together… It is a privilege and a delight to spend time, even very short visits, with so many brothers and sisters around the Yearly Meeting and beyond!”
- India “Our ministry in the Red-light area is growing. We are working hard. Some girls are getting ready to make public testimonies of baptism. We are being helped locally in this ministry.”
- Ukraine “One of our team members has found a way to avoid being drafted. He is not in good health, but the army pays no attention to health exemptions. Men are picked up all the time, and those papers are just torn up. He has been offered a job in a hospital for the duration of the war. It means he can only work part-time for us, but if he were in the army, he could do nothing, and he plays a critical part in the computer end of the ministry. This is an answer to prayer, his and ours.”
- EFM Missionary Candidates for The Balkans “The last day of work will be May 22. Please pray that God will provide for us to transition straight to full-time work with EFM at that point.”
- Ukraine “That these new believers will be discipled into an active, vibrant faith. Sometimes in the enthusiasm of evangelism, discipleship gets second place, but evangelism and discipleship MUST go hand in hand if these communities are to have strong churches.”
EASTER OFFERING – We are now collecting for Evangelical Friends Mission’s 2025 Easter Offering. If you would like to donate, simply make a check out to Medford Friends Church and write “EFM” on the memo line or on a giving envelope. Donations go towards propelling the Luke 10 Initiative – to send out missionaries “that all would experience the transforming power of Resurrection”.
Worship in Giving – There’s a time of offering during service. You may mail your offering, or visit our website at medfordfriendschurch.org and select “Give”. Thank you.
We would like to join you in prayer or help you in any way we can. To help us do that, we invite you to fill out the contact form on this website or make use of our Prayer Wall in the Menu at the top. Thank you.
