一﹑本週經文:Scriptures:  帖撒羅尼迦後書3:1-3   2 Thessalonians

1弟兄們,我還有話說:請你們為我們禱告,好叫主的道理快快行開,得著榮耀,正如在你們中間一樣,2 也叫我們脫離無理之惡人的手;因為人不都是有信心。3 但主是信實的,要堅固你們,保護你們脫離那惡者。
1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. 2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1.為蘇丹禱告:去年蘇丹人民推翻獨裁者Omar al-Bashir,他在三十年前通過一場軍事政變取得政權。現在的過渡政府最近通過了一連串的改革,其中包括取消禁止人民由伊斯蘭教改信其他信仰。請為蘇丹的過渡政府禱告,藉著這些改革為蘇丹帶來真正的信仰自由。
Pray for Sudan.  Last year, the people of Sudan overthrew authoritarian ruler Omar al-Bashir, who had come to power thirty years ago through a coup d’etat. The transitional government that took over from Bashir recently announced a series of law reforms that include the cancellation of prohibitions against religious conversion from Islam.  Pray that God will work through Sudan’s transitional government to bring good reforms that lead the nation towards religious freedom.

2.為華人差傳大會禱告:感謝主,我们終於成立英文推廣團隊,成員包括台福教會的劉冠志牧師以及陳威任牧師。求神使用他們的人脈,聯繫更多華人教會的英文牧師一起在他們服事的教會推動12月的華人差傳大會。
Pray for CMC Global. Praise God for the formation of an English Promotion Team to include Pastor KC Liu and Pastor Will Chen.  May God utilize their connections to encourage more English pastors in Chinese churches to help promote the December event.

4.為牧養同工禱告:在疫情期間,教會團契小組的輔導、小組長持續透過網路平台或戶外具會牧養弟兄姊妹,求神更新他們的生命,使用他們造就弟兄姊妹做神合用的器皿。
