Please continue to pray for the community of Ferguson, Missouri in the wake of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Pray for local churches and clergy including Wellspring United Methodist Church. Wellspring is a predominantly African-American United Methodist congregation located a block from the police station and less than a mile from where protests have been taking place. The pastor, Rev. F. Willis Johnson and his congregation have responded to the needs of the community by leading prayer vigils, helping with cleanup, meeting with community leaders, and comforting protesters. You can read more about United Methodist responses to the death of Michael Brown at The General Commission on Race and Religion of the United Methodist Church, GCORR.org, and at UMC.org
