The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,
The world, and all who live in it;

For he founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the waters.

Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?

Prayers and Praises

VMBM: In May, the three evangelical churches in Lezhe, Albania, hosted a group of 17 persons with Campus Crusade for Christ, who showed the "Jesus" film to more than 1,400 people. Pray for missionaries Allen Umble, Norma Teles, and Paul & June Kropf as they follow up with the people who expressed interest in knowing more about the Gospel.

Mennonite Mission Network: Pray for the Mennonite Church USA Assembly and Conventions now taking place in Atlanta, Ga. May youth and adults who are attending impact their home congregations with a vision to reach "across the street and around the world."

Pray for the local services for people in need: Love Inc., Shelter for Help in Emergency, Foodbank and the Salvation Army.
