14 道成了肉身,住在我們中間,充充滿滿地有恩典有真理。我們也見過他的榮光,正是父獨生子的榮光。
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為馬拉威禱告:性交易人口販賣的情形在非洲東南部的馬拉威自新冠疫情以來大幅度增加。根據〝少女人道援救〞一個非營利機構的統計,馬拉威在2020年的人口販賣案件比較前一年增加了三倍。大多數受害者來自於貧窮的家庭,他們受到有較好的教育或就業機會的蠱惑而被騙。請禱告在對抗性交易人口販賣的行動上能有突破的進展,也為受害者能在耶穌基督裡找到他們生命的盼望禱告。
Pray for Malawi. Sex trafficking cases have been increased in Malawi since the pandemic. In 2020, People Serving Girls at Risk (PSGR), an NGO serving at-risk populations, handled triple the number of cases compared to the previous year. Most victims come from poor families and are lured by the false promise of better education and employment. Pray for breakthroughs to be made in the fight against sex trafficking and for the victims to find hope in Christ. - 為新冠疫情禱告:為世界各國,新冠肺炎新增感染的人數與死亡人數都能趨於緩和禱告。請為人們都能在人多的地方,及自家以外的室內戴上口罩禱告。
