二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1. 為格陵蘭禱告：格陵蘭島是丹麥的一個自治地區。 這個國家的名字意思是“午夜的太陽”，這個名字適合一個有時連續幾週都有二十四小時的白天國家。 他們的人口由因紐特人和丹麥人後裔組成。 路德會擁有最大的影響力，但對現代的扭曲看法正在其社區中傳播不道德、酗酒和自殺的現象。 當地有忠心的信徒和傳教士，他們給民眾輔導，見證聖靈在人群中的工作。 為不道德、酗酒和自殺行為失去對格陵蘭島的控制祈禱。 為忠實服務當地社區的信徒讚美神。
Pray for Greenland: Greenland is a self-governing division of Denmark. The country’s name means “midnight sun,” a name befitting a nation that sometimes has twenty-four hours of daylight for weeks on end. Their population is composed of Inuit and Danish descendants. The Lutheran Church holds the biggest presence, but a twisted view of modernity is spreading immorality, alcoholism, and suicide among their communities. There are faithful local believers and missionaries who serve in counseling and are witnessing the Holy Spirit’s work among the people. Pray for immorality, alcoholism, and suicide to lose their hold over Greenland. Praise God for the believers who faithfully serve their local communities.

2. 為迎新事工禱告：迎新事工事新朋友來到我们教會的第一印象。求神紀念迎新團隊所付出的辛勞，也求神興起更多有負擔的弟兄姊妹投身迎新事工，在每一個主日歡迎招待新到教會的朋友，使他們感受到被接納的溫暖，因而繼續參與我们的教會。
Pray for Hospitality Ministries: Hospitality teams are the newcomers’ first impression of our church. Pray that the Lord remembers the effort of our hospitality teams, and raised up more people to join hospitality ministries. Pray that every newcomer would eventually join our church because of feeling the welcome and warmth from the hospitality teams.

3. 為教會更新禱告：為我们教會經歷聖靈更新禱告。求神的靈更新我們的教會，使我们每一個人都經歷神的大能的改變，以致於對神的話語更委身，與神的關係更親近，對神的使命更熱心，對神的誡命更投入。
Pray for Renewal: Pray for the spiritual renewal of our church. Pray that everyone in our church would experience the mighty work of the Holy Spirit, so that people would devote themselves more in His Word, have a better relationship with Him, be more fervent to the Great Commission, and commit deeper in the Great Commandment.

4. 為台灣短宣禱告：七月中教會台灣短宣隊一行18人將到台灣台中城市歡呼台福教會以美語品格營短宣，為期五天。請為團員身體健康、行程平安禱告，更懇求神使用美語品格營幫助當地的年輕人認識耶穌，得著生命的救恩。

一、 本週經文 Scriptures: 列王記下13:17-19 2 Kings 

17 說：「你開朝東的窗戶。」他就開了。以利沙說：「射箭吧！」他就射箭。以利沙說：「這是耶和華的得勝箭，就是戰勝亞蘭人的箭；因為你必在亞弗攻打亞蘭人，直到滅盡他們。」 18 以利沙又說：「取幾枝箭來。」他就取了來。以利沙說：「打地吧！他打了三次，便止住了。 19 神人向他發怒，說：「應當擊打五六次，就能攻打亞蘭人直到滅盡；現在只能打敗亞蘭人三次。」
17 “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.”  18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”
