一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 提摩太前書2:1-3  1 Timothy

1 我勸你，第一要為萬人懇求、禱告、代求、祝謝；2 為君王和一切在位的，也該如此，使我們可以敬虔、端正、平安無事的度日。3 這是好的，在神我們救主面前可蒙悅納。
1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為安哥拉禱告：今年稍早有十名無武裝的抗議人士在非洲安哥拉的北倫達省被當地維安部隊槍殺。這些人士在要求政府改善當地的公共設施像是水、電的供應。當地政府並沒有說明向這些無武裝平民開火的詳細原因。政府也拒絕接受任何探究真相的獨立調查。請為當地政府能停止對平民開火的行為轉而以和平的方式改善當地的問題禱告。
Pray for Angola. Early this year, ten unarmed protesters were killed in Lunda Norte province, Angola by local security forces. They were protesting to ask for improved public services like water and electricity. The officers did not detail the reasons for firing at the unarmed civilians. The government rejected any attempts toward independent investigation on what happened. Pray for the government to stop taking to arms against its citizens and instead peacefully come to good resolutions with them.

2.為疫情禱告：疫苗的取得與施打成為對抗新冠肺炎疫情的關鍵，目前亞洲國家疫苗的施打進度遠遠落後於歐美國家，請為亞洲國家能順利取得並施打疫苗禱告。
Pray for the COVID-19. It has become clear that vaccination is the key to subside COVID-19.
