Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Revival. Pray that revival would fall upon our church. People would devote themselves to prayer, reading God’s words, obeying God’s commands, praying for each other, loving each other, and witnessing the Lord with signs and wonders.
  • Pray for Student Ministries. Pray for student advisers. Pray that God will use them to lead students through spiritual revival. The church is looking for a student ministry assistant. Pray that the Lord would raise up this stu-dent worker soon.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for COVID-19. Pray that the African countries would smoothly get COVID enough vaccines for their people, and people would receive their vaccines cooperatively. Pray for the safety of those health workers giving people vaccination.
  • Pray for Haiti. The number of children under five with life-threatening malnutrition in Haiti has been projected to double this yar, according to UNICEF. Out of a population of about 11 million residents, 4.4 million face food insecurity – 1.9 million of them being children. Pray that God will pro-vide food for the body and food for the spirit – the gospel of Jesus Christ – to those who need it the most.
