A Prayer for Bangladesh (March 18, 2019)
God of grace and goodness, we thank you for Abdul Mojid, a Muslim contractor who recently oversaw the construction of a church for a new congregation, in the village of Polashi in rural northwestern Bangladesh. The 21-foot-by-36-foot brick and cement structure with grilled windows, metal shutters and door, and a tin roof shaded by a palm tree will serve as the spiritual center for Polashi’s 109 church members. Their contributions, along with support from the Church of Bangladesh and American Presbyterians, funded the work; and at the opening ceremony in a couple of weeks, representatives from sister congregations in the region will bring gifts to help with essentials such as candle holders and hymnals. Thank you, O Lord, for Mr. Mojid’s friendly, sincere, and honest assistance in this community effort to lift up and nurture your church in Bangladesh. We offer our prayer in the name of Christ, the Hope of the world. Amen.
