一、本週經文 Scriptures: 列王記下1:2-3 2 Kings

2亞哈謝在撒馬利亞，一日從樓上的欄杆裡掉下來，就病了；於是差遣使者說：「你們去問以革倫的神巴力．西卜，我這病能好不能好。」3但耶和華的使者對提斯比人以利亞說：「你起來，去迎著撒馬利亞王的使者，對他們說：『你們去問以革倫神巴力．西卜，豈因以色列中沒有神嗎？』
2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.” 3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1. 為荷蘭禱告：「荷蘭」是世界上第一個「新教國家」嗎？然時至現代，竟成為「百姓過半數沒有宗教信仰」的國家之一，文化傾向無神論。然今（2024）年五月時，國際上發生多次大規模的洗禮或聚會，包括：美國加州、佛州、歐洲法國巴黎以及荷蘭！由Opwekking所舉行的復興大會，逾6萬人聚集實體敬拜，並另有70萬人在線參與。求主藉著福音復興活動復興荷蘭教會，使得更多的人能聽聞福音，改變荷蘭。
Pray for Netherlands. Netherlands was the first “Protestant country” in the world? Yet, in modern times, it has become one of the countries where “over half of the population has no religious belief” and the culture leans towards atheism. However, in May this year (2024), there have been several large-scale baptisms and gatherings internationally, including in California, Florida, Paris, France, and the Netherlands! The revival conference held by Opwekking gathered over 60,000 people for in-person worship, with an additional 700,000 participating online. We pray that through the gospel revival activities, the Dutch church will be revived, and more people will hear the gospel, transforming the Netherlands.

2. 為加州禱告：今年五旬節，在「加州洗禮」運動，來自全州和跨教派的教會聚集，有12,000人於加州各地海灘受洗，創下歷史上最大規模同步洗禮的紀錄！「上帝點燃了火，如果神能夠在加州的教會做到這一點，那麼祂也能夠，而且將會在美國其他地方做同樣的事情！」我們見過耶穌行神蹟，聽說過阿蘇薩大復興，但這是上帝在加州的另一波浪潮！人們以為這個州已經太黑暗、太壓抑，但神總是有回應，祂的回應就是「復興」！讓教會興起，繼續為加州禱告，求主賜下復興，藉福音轉化加州。
Pray for California. This Pentecost, during the “Baptize California” movement, churches from across the state and across denominations gathered, resulting in 12,000 people being baptized on various beaches throughout California, setting a record for the largest synchronized baptism in history! “God has ignited a fire, and if He can do this in the churches of California, then He can, and will, do the same in other parts of the United States!” We have seen Jesus perform miracles and heard about the Azusa Street Revival, but this is another wave of God’s movement in California! People thought this state was too dark and oppressive, but God always responds, and His response is “revival”! Let the church rise up and continue to pray for California, asking the Lord to send revival and transform California through the gospel.

3. 為國際戰爭衝突禱告：讓我們繼續為以巴戰爭及中東地區和平、俄烏戰爭、紅海危機和印太地區平安禱告，願眾教會為國際局勢禱告的火不停歇！主必在列國中掌王權、居首位！求主除去一切黑暗權勢，保守看顧所有平民的安全與需要，願祢在其中施行奇妙，賜下愛與智慧給所有地上掌權者，讓他們有機會真實認識祢的救恩。願平安歸於列國！
Pray for the Israel-Palestine conflict and peace in the Middle East. The Russia-Ukraine war, the Red Sea crisis, and peace in the Indo-Pacific region. May the flame of prayer for international affairs never cease in all churches! The Lord will reign and be exalted among the nations! We pray that the Lord will remove all dark forces, protect and watch over the safety and needs of all civilians, and perform wonders among them. May He grant love and wisdom to all earthly rulers, giving them the opportunity to truly know His salvation. May peace be upon all nations!

4. 為教會即將出發的短宣隊禱告：求主賜福教會所差派的國內、外福音短宣隊，讓他們能夠時時拿起禱告權柄為靈魂得救禱告，賜福短宣隊員能在事奉與生活當中與祢同行。懇求聖靈恩膏各短宣隊，帶著基督的愛傳揚救恩福音，為人施洗、領人作主門徒，並見證其腳掌所踏之地都能得著改變、恢復與醫治的神蹟。
Pray for STM. We pray that God bless the domestic and international gospel mission teams sent out by the church, enabling them to continually take up the authority of prayer for the salvation of souls. Bless the mission team members to walk with You in their service and daily lives. We earnestly ask for the Holy Spirit to anoint each mission team, that they may spread the gospel of salvation with the love of Christ, baptize people, make disciples for the Lord, and witness the miraculous transformation, restoration, and healing in every place their feet tread.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1. 為蘇利南禱告：蘇利南於 1975 年脫離荷蘭獨立，是一個種族多元化的國家。 矛盾的是，它在維持高生活水準的同時卻面臨嚴峻的政治和經濟挑戰。 販運毒品和走私黃金的犯罪團伙的存在給國家帶來了負面影響。 蘇利南超過一半的人口是基督徒，教會正在派遣傳教士到國內未得之地宣教。 禱告網絡和跨教派夥伴關係也在不斷發展。 祈禱犯罪集團能夠被揭露並被摧毀。 讚美神，讓宣教士進入未得地區傳福音。
Pray for Suriname. Having gained its independence from the Netherlands in 1975, Suriname is an ethnically diverse country. It paradoxically holds a high standard of living while facing severe political and economic challenges. The presence of crime rings trafficking drugs and smuggling gold have negatively affected the nation. More than half the population is Christian, and churches are sending missionaries into unreached areas within their nation. Prayer networks and cross-denominational partnership are also growing. Pray for the crime rings to be exposed and taken down. Praise God for the missionaries going into unreached areas to share the gospel.

2. 為加州復興禱告：加州是全美國人口最多的一州也是全美國經濟產值最高的一州。目前略超過六成的加州成年人說他們是基督徒，但是整個基督徒的比率不論是新教徒或是天主教徒都在下降中。求神興起祂的教會，為加州人的靈魂得救劬勞，反轉越來越多人離開基督信仰的趨勢。
Pray for the Revival of California. California is the most populated state in the US, and it has the highest GDP among the states. Although there are still over sixty percent of adults in California declare themselves as Christians, but churches Protestant and Catholic alike are shrinking through past years. Pray that the Lord would use His Church in California to fervently reach out to their communities to win a great deal of Californians to Him as to overturn the declining Christian faith.

3. 為吉爾吉斯短宣禱告：教會的吉爾吉斯短宣隊正在當地宣教中。請為他們行程平安平安，團員身體健康祈求神。祈求神為他們開門，使他們藉著活動將福音傳給當地的年輕人。求神使用他們以及持續在當地宣教的傳道人，為吉爾吉斯帶來福音的衝擊，大規模翻轉這個國家歸向真神。
Pray for Kyrgyzstan STM. Our Kyrgyzstan STM team is currently doing mission in that country. Pray for the safety and team members’ health. Pray that God would use them and the local ministers to bring a spiritual revival to Kyrgyzstan. As a result, lots of Kyrgyzstan people would turn to God.

4. 為教會合一禱告：我們的教會有五個堂會，人們主要說台語、華語、英語、粵語四種不同的語言。 禱告我們的教會能努力保守神所賜的合一，共同努力實現教會的異象，傳揚福音，造就門徒，彼此相愛，關懷社區。
Pray for Unity. Our church has five congregations, and people speak four different languages. Pray that our church would endeavor to keep the spirit of unity, and jointly to make efforts in performing the vision of our church, reaching out to the lost, making disciples, loving each other, and caring for the communities.
