Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for New Believers. Over Thanksgiving week, there are 9 people re-ceiving their baptism and 2 confirmations. Pray that these new believers would join different groups and constantly receive their disciple training.
  • Pray for Sunday School Teachers. Pray for the teacher of Joint Sunday School, Charlotte Lin, and teachers of English and children’s Sunday School. Pray that the Lord would give them wisdom and knowledge to train His people.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health. Pray that missionary Lei Kin (in Ger-many) would recover from her COVID-19 soon.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for COVID-19. Up to date, 78% of the population in California has re-ceived at least one dose of vaccine, and 68% have been fully vaccinated. Also, booster shots are available for adults 18 and older. Pray that the pandemic would subside soon. Also, those who have not yet been vac-cinated would receive their vaccine soon.
  • Pray for San Marino. San Marino is a very small republic located within central Italy. Among a small population of 33,000, most are nominally and culturally Catholics. They enjoy a stable economy based on tourism and banking. There is freedom of religion but there have been known cases where evangelization has led to incarceration or expulsion. Pray for be-lievers to be emboldened to preach the gospel nonetheless so that the people of San Marino may find salvation in Christ.
