一、本週經文 Scriptures：帖撒羅尼迦前書1:5 1 Thessalonians
5 因為我們的福音傳到你們那裡，不獨在乎言語，也在乎權能和聖靈，並充足的信心。正如你們知道，我們在你們那裡，為你們的緣故是怎樣為人。
5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為台灣禱告：超過90% 的台灣人信奉佛教、道教、儒教、民間信仰或是以上信仰的混和。而大多數的基督徒都住在台灣主要的城市，鄉村地區基督徒比率很低，人們聽聞福音的機會也較少。一些教會已經開始以較接地氣的方式像鄉村的勞工階層傳福音。台灣目前是全世界華人群體中唯一一個尚未經歷大規模屬靈突破的地區。求神讓台灣經歷一次屬靈的復興，使基督徒的比率大幅增加，特別是在鄉村地區。
Pray for Taiwan. Over 90% of Taiwanese follow some combination of Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and traditional religions. Most of the Christians in Taiwan live in major cities, so rural areas get less exposure to the gospel. Churches have been increasing their efforts to evangelize the working class through less formal outreaches. Taiwan remains the only major Han Chinese population in the world without a significant spiritual breakthrough. Pray for a spiritual breakage in the rural areas of Taiwan.

2.為個人屬靈復興禱告：求神使我們每一位都經歷一次個人屬靈的復興，讓我們每一個人都清楚聽到神對我們說話，使我們與那又真又活的神相遇，讓我們對神的熱情再次恢復，就使我們更熱心敬拜神、遵行神的話、愛弟兄姊妹，服事神，傳揚福音。

Pray for Nomination of Deacons and Elders. Elders of different departments are searching for next year’s deacons. Pray that they can find enough deacons for their ministries, and God would convince those who are invited by elders. Pray that the Lord would raise more deacons in our church to conduct different ministries for further development of our church.

4.為兒童堂禱告：為兒童堂新一學年註冊進行順利禱告。求神讓今年註冊的學童人數突破百人，求神興起新一代的兒童主日學老師，委身造就教導兒童，幫助學童們從小就認識跟隨耶穌，從小就順服神的話，並從小就學習服事神。

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為伊朗禱告：在伊朗，儘管從伊斯蘭教改信基督教是非法的行為，福音仍廣傳到伊朗各地，教會正經歷復興。當地基督徒被政府利用科技來監控生活，透過數據，照片，獲取通訊軟體的訊息及通話錄音等，使他們面臨被囚禁，受審，被處以死刑等威脅。讓我們一起禱告，求神憐憫，保護伊朗的基督徒和教會。
Pray for Iran. Even though conversion from Islam to Christianity is illegal in Iran, the gospel is being preached throughout the country and the church is experiencing a revival. Local Christians are being monitored by the government using technology to monitor their lives, using data, photos, messages from communication software, and call recordings. They face threats of imprisonment, trial, and execution. Let us pray together for God’s mercy and protection for Christians and churches in Iran.
