一﹑本週經文Scriptures:    路加福音2:10-11 Luke

10 那天使對他們說：「不要懼怕！我報給你們大喜的信息，是關乎萬民的； 11 因今天在大衛的城裡，為你們生了救主，就是主基督。

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1.為庫德人禱告：許多在伊拉克的北庫德族人自從海灣戰爭以來就過著難民的生活。他們分成許多不同的支派與部落但有相同的文化。他們的居住環境缺乏水資源同時被像肺炎與瘧疾類的傳染病所困擾。他們絕大多數都是沙菲耶派的遜尼派穆斯林，只有極少數的基督徒。請為他們的生活需要改善與靈魂得救禱告。

Pray for the Kurds.  Many of the Northern Kurds of Iraq have been living as refugees ever since the Gulf War. They are made up of many different clans and tribes but share a common culture.  Their communities struggle with a lack of water and vulnerability to diseases like tuberculosis and malaria.  Most of the Northern Kurds are Shafi’ite Sunni Muslims and there are few known Christian believers among them.  Pray for the people’s needs both in body and in spirit.  

2.為華人差傳大會禱告：u感謝主，已經有超過3500人註冊，超過八千個名額團體預購，但是其中僅有兩千個名額被使用。請為團體預購名額的教會能積極鼓勵他們的會友上網報名禱告。由於有相當多人上網報名，曾出線報名卡頓的情形，請為報名網站能順利運作禱告。v今年一共有25個機構參與宣教展覽會，雖然比以往來得少，但是讓我們感恩有這些機構的參與。大部分的機構都已經提供他們的宣傳視頻，請為影音同工順利將這些宣傳視頻配置在大會中場休息時間播放禱告。

Pray for CMC Global.  uPraise God.  There were over 3500 confirmed registrations and over 8,000 pre-purchased group registration.  Please continue to pray that many churches which pre-purchased group registration before the early bird deadline on December 7 will be actively promoting CMC Global with their church members so that more people will register on the website.  Due to high registration volume we have some issues; pray that they would be worked out. vWe have 25 registered exhibitors, short of what we had hoped for, but we are still grateful for their involvement!  Most have submitted videos to show in between the sessions.  Pray as the media team puts them together.

3.為教會禱告：為教會弟兄姊妹靈命成長禱告。為教會小組長、輔導、長老、執事、牧師同工禱告。為教會外展傳揚福音禱告。

Pay for Our Church. Pray for people’s growth in their spirituality.  Pray for our leaders, small group leaders, advisers, elders, deacons, and pastors.  Pray also for our outreach.
