一、 本週經文 Scriptures：約書亞記 9:14-15 Joshua
14 以色列人受了他們些食物，並沒有求問耶和華。15 於是約書亞與他們講和，與他們立約，容他們活著；會眾的首領也向他們起誓。16 以色列人與他們立約之後，過了三天才聽見他們是近鄰，住在以色列人中間的。
¹⁴ The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the Lord. ¹⁵ Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為奈及利亞禱告：奈及利亞約有48%人口為基督徒，但長期飽受伊斯蘭極端組織博科聖地與西非伊斯蘭國省（ISWAP）的襲擊。村落被夷為平地、教堂焚毀、牧師遭綁架的事件仍頻。根據國際組織「敞開的門」（Open Doors）「2025全球守望名單」，奈及利亞在「基督徒受迫害最嚴重國家」中排名第七，該國基督徒死亡人數占全球總數的八成以上。求主記念受苦的肢體，無論身處戰火、捆鎖或他鄉，都能找到同伴，持守著信心與神同行。求主興起弟兄姊妹為受逼迫的人禱告，也為當地政府及社會禱告，求主轉化這些地方，促進宗教自由。
Pray for Nigeria. About 48% of Nigeria’s population is Christian, yet the country has long suffered from attacks by Islamic extremist groups such as Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). Entire villages have been razed, churches burned down, and pastors kidnapped—these tragedies still occur frequently. According to the international organization Open Doors and its World Watch List 2025, Nigeria ranks seventh among the countries where Christians face the most severe persecution. More than 80% of all Christians killed for their faith globally are from Nigeria. Pray that the Lord will remember His suffering people—whether they are in war zones, in captivity, or scattered in foreign lands—so they may find companions in faith and continue walking with God. Pray also that the Lord will stir believers to intercede for the persecuted and for the Nigerian government and society, that He may transform the nation and bring about greater religious freedom.

2. 為主任牧師、師母禱告：為謝信生牧師及師母的服事對焦神的國，牧師師母的心轉向神的國度，不被生活瑣事佔據禱告。求主使與牧師師母同在，使他們的身心靈健壯，全家都能與神的國神的義對焦。為牧師師母在國度，教會及主日講台服事中，有充足的體力及靈力。也為牧師師母在下一代建造及培育事上，結果纍纍。
Prayer for the Senior Pastor and His Wife. Pray for Pastor Johnson and his wife Connie, that their ministry focuses on God’s Kingdom. Pray that their hearts are turned toward God’s Kingdom and are not occupied by the trivial matters of daily life. May the Lord be with the pastor and his wife, strengthening their body, mind, and spirit, and enabling the whole family to align with God’s Kingdom and righteousness. Pray for sufficient physical and spiritual strength for their ministry in the Kingdom, the church, and the Sunday pulpit service. Also, pray for abundant fruitfulness in their work of building up and nurturing the next generation.

3. 為全教會各團隊明年的福音發展策略及計劃代禱：為教會不論得時不得時，總要抓緊可以傳福音的機會，在世界變化不定的時代，發揮信仰改變的力量，使教會在一場又一場的屬靈爭戰中，見證榮耀神的名。讓我們以禱告記念各小組團契開始籌備來年的傳福音計劃，求神堅固眾肢體願意傳福音的心志，並賜給眾人有智慧、具創意地籌劃聚會和活動，各團隊又能彼此配合，好叫教會同心合意，營造一個能與那些追求認識神的新人，同行的信仰群體。
Prayer for Next Year’s Evangelism Plans. Pray that the church, in every circumstance—whether convenient or inconvenient—seizes every opportunity to share the Gospel. In an ever-changing world, may the church demonstrate the transforming power of faith, testifying to God’s glory through one spiritual battle after another. Let us remember in prayer the preparation by all small groups and fellowships for next year’s evangelism plans. Pray that God strengthens the hearts of all members to be willing to share the Gospel, grants wisdom and creativity in planning gatherings and activities, and enables all teams to cooperate effectively. May the church be united in purpose, creating a faith community that walks alongside those who are seeking to know God.

4. 為曾經來過教會卻又離開的朋友禱告：為每個不論什麼原因離開教會的朋友禱告，可能有人因誤會而離開教會，可能有人因生活壓力而漸行漸遠，求主讓洛福教會成為不放棄任何一隻「小羊」的教會。願教會看見「每個離開的羊最大的需求就是關懷！」讓關懷不只是牧師、小組長的工作，每個人都能成為關懷同工。讓我們的屬靈群體也願意「調整」，不再和過去一樣。為教會不一成不變，願意心意更新、隨著時代改變，能注入更多新元素與突破吸引人回到神的家中禱告。
Prayer for Friends Who Once Attended Church but Have Left. Pray for every friend who has left the church, regardless of the reason. Some may have left due to misunderstandings, while others may have gradually drifted away because of life pressures. Ask the Lord to make our church a place that never gives up on any “lost sheep.” May the church recognize that the greatest need of every departing sheep is care. Let care not be only the responsibility of pastors and small group leaders, but let everyone become a co-worker in showing concern. Pray that our spiritual community is willing to “adjust,” not remaining as it was in the past. Pray that the church will not be stagnant, but open to renewal of mind and heart, adapting to the times, and introducing new elements and breakthroughs that draw people back to God’s house.

5. 為肢體禱告：為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告，求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick.  Pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health. Ask God to heal them and restore their physical health.

一﹑本週經文Scriptures：約書亞記14:9-12 Joshua
9 當日摩西起誓說：『你腳所踏之地定要歸你和你的子孫永遠為業，因為你專心跟從耶和華─我的　神。』10 自從耶和華對摩西說這話的時候，耶和華照他所應許的使我存活這四十五年；其間以色列人在曠野行走。看哪，現今我八十五歲了， 11 我還是強壯，像摩西打發我去的那天一樣；無論是爭戰，是出入，我的力量那時如何，現在還是如何。 12 求你將耶和華那日應許我的這山地給我；那裡有亞衲族人，並寬大堅固的城，你也曾聽見了。或者耶和華照他所應許的與我同在，我就把他們趕出去。」
9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.’[a] 10 “Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! 11 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”

We ask that He protect every brother and sister with peace and health in all gatherings, travels, and ministries.

And through our Christmas services and outreach efforts, may many come to experience the truth and hope of the gospel.

3. 為禱告事工禱告：求神興起弟兄姊妹委身禱告，使復興臨到教會。除了個人每天親近神、向神禱告，也每週參與群體禱告，使教會在聖靈的帶領中被建立與更新。求主讓我們看見禱告的重要，使我們願意成為代禱者，忠心守望教會與他人的需要。。
Pray for the Prayer Ministry. May God raise up brothers and sisters who are committed to prayer, so that revival may come to the church.
