二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1.為墨西哥禱告：在墨西哥近一億三千四百萬的人口中有百分之九十五的人宣稱他們是基督徒。雖然這個數字看起來相當振奮人心但是實際上基督信仰在墨西哥當地並非如數字上所呈現得那樣耀眼，相反地基督信樣在墨西哥正愈來愈受到挑戰，一方面基督信仰受到猖狂的毒梟威脅，同時有愈來愈多的世俗化人士控訴基督信仰歧視他們。求神在這樣愈發困難的環境中堅固墨西哥信徒的信心，鼓勵他們繼續持守基督信仰。
Pray for Mexico. Ninety-five percent of the 133.9 million inhabitants in Mexico consider themselves Christian. Although this number makes it look like Christianity is flourishing in Mexico, the reality is that Christianity face increasing hardships. They are being threatened by drug cartels and challenged by the secular public who accuse Christians of discriminating against them. Pray for God to strengthen and encourage Mexican believers, and that they would persevere in their faith amid the increasing difficulties.

2.為新冠疫情禱告：新冠變種病毒Omicron正迅速在包括美國的世界上許多國家蔓延傳染，許多國家的確診人數都在明顯上升，雖然Omicron的毒性遠不如Delta變種病毒，但是求神憐憫保護大家的安全，讓這波疫情快快消退。
Pray for COVID. The Omicron variant has caused another wave of pandemics around the globe, including the US. Although the Omicron variant is far less dangerous than the Delta variant, recent cases are obviously on the rise. Pray that the Lord would have mercy on His people, and let the pandemic subside soon.

3.為同工禱告：為我們今年的長老、執事以及團契小組的輔導、小組長禱告。求神賜下合一的心，讓同工們一起努力於教會傳揚福音造就門徒的異象。
Pray for Church Leaders. Pray for our elders, deacons, advisers, and group leaders. Pray that the Lord would unite us to carry out the vision of preaching the gospel and disciple-making.

4.為宣教事工禱告：為宣教部的邱俊杰長老、張簡吉誠傳道、孫孝齊執事禱告。求神使用他們帶動教會向外宣教的負擔，又使今年的海外短宣隊得以成行。
Pray for Mission Ministries. Pray for Elder Alex Chiu, Minister Scott Changchien, and Deacon Sunny Sun. Pray that the Lord would use them to arouse our burden for the mission, and pray that we may send our summer short-term mission teams out.

5. 為肢體禱告：為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告，求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
