一﹑本週經文Scripture：使徒行傳26:19-20 Acts、哥林多後書11:23-28 2 Corinthians

26:19「亞基帕王啊，我故此沒有違背那從天上來的異象；20先在大馬士革，後在耶路撒冷和猶太全地，以及外邦，勸勉他們應當悔改歸向神，行事與悔改的心相稱。
19 “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. 20 First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.

11: 23他們是基督的僕人嗎？（我說句狂話，）我更是。我比他們多受勞苦，多下監牢，受鞭打是過重的，冒死是屢次有的。24被猶太人鞭打五次，每次四十減去一下；25被棍打了三次；被石頭打了一次；遇著船壞三次，一晝一夜在深海裡。26又屢次行遠路，遭江河的危險、盜賊的危險、同族的危險、外邦人的危險、城裡的危險、曠野的危險、海中的危險、假弟兄的危險。27受勞碌、受困苦，多次不得睡，又飢又渴，多次不得食，受寒冷，赤身露體。28除了這外面的事，還有為眾教會掛心的事，天天壓在我身上。
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am out of my mind to talk like this.) I am more. I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24 Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26 I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. 27 I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. 28 Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.

Pray for peace in the countries recently affected by natural disasters. This includes the United States (hurricane), Japan (earthquake), China (landslides and floods), the Philippines (typhoon), Greece (wildfires), and Turkey (wildfires). We ask You to grant peace and strength to the people of these nations, and may Your protection continue to surround them!

Pray for more committed coworkers in church ministry. After the pandemic, people are flocking to the church, and new friends are visiting every week, but there is still a shortage of coworkers for pastoral care.

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 Personal Spiritual Revival. Pray that each one of us would experience a personal spiritual revival. Everyone would hear God’s voice, and encounter with the true and living God, so that everyone would become passionate again in worshiping God, serving God, obeying God, and preaching the gospel.

3.為長執提名禱告：各部門的執事人選徵詢正在進行中，請為各部門的長老能順利找到需要的執事同工禱告。求神感動被徵詢的弟兄姊妹使他們清楚神對他們的帶領。求神興起更多弟兄姊妹參與教會內各項事工的服事，好讓神的家更得建造發展。
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。
Pray for Children Congregation. Pray for the registration of Children Sunday School would be smooth, and there are more than one hundred sign-ups. Pray that there will be a new generation of children Sunday School teachers devoting in teaching the children to follow Jesus, obey Jesus, and serve Jesus.
