As Christians serving the Lord by sharing the gospel message of Jesus Christ through media, we have always needed the support of others in prayer. Since its beginning as the Mennonite Brethren Communications Prayer Bulletin in the 1990's, our Prayerline has been a way of giving updates on our projects and asking for prayer in specific areas and situations.
​
Now, we are happy to present it to you in a digital format as well.
​
Prayer has always been an essential value at Square One. When decisions need to be made, when things have gotten off track, when problems look insurmountable; no matter what the situation, we turn to God in prayer.
​
We hope that this page enlightens and encourages you to pray for our ministry and other ministries abroad sharing the gospel for the Glory of God!
