Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Harvest Winter Retreat. There are nearly eighty people signing up for the winter retreat. Pray for the preparation, transportation, safety, Sunday live streaming, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
  • Pray for Worship Ministries. Pray for our worship department, Elder Max Wu, Deacons: Arthur AU, Natasha Hsu, Jen Huang, Joseph Lee, Ying Liang, Wendy Lin, James Wu, and Frank Xue. Pray that the Lord would use our worship teams to lead the congregants into His glorious presence.
  • 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 Church in the US. Pray that the church would find a new zeal and commitment to the mission and purpose of Jesus Christ. There is unity with and among churches that reveals God’s love for the world. Also, God’s people are upright. They would look and act differently from the world.
  • Pray for the Bunu. The Bunu, whose name means “us people,” are a mi-nority in China. Although grouped under one ethnicity, they speak several different languages. Bunu culture is matriarchal, meaning that wives are the heads of the family. The Bunu are one of the largest groups in China without a single known church among them. Pray that the gospel to reach them in truth and love.
