November-December 2014 Prayer Prompter

We who were formerly no people at all, and who knew of no peace, are now called to be... a church... of peace. True Christians do not know vengeance. They are the children of peace. Their hearts overflow with peace. Their mouths speak peace, and they walk in the way of peace.
— Menno Simons
