Prayer Requests
Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)
- Pray for Finance Ministries. Pray for Elder Max Wu, Deacon Jenny Yeh, and Deacon Anson Kuo. Pray that the Lord will strengthen our finance coworkers to have good energy and health in order to keep the record of our church offering every Sunday.
- Pray for Lunar New Year Mini Carnival. Pray for preparing the Lunar New Year Mini Carnival of Feb 6. Pray that the next generation would know the Lunar New Year through this activity and more people in the communities would know our church through this activity.
- Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick or infected. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.
Pray for the world
- Pray for COVID. The number of daily new cases of COVID in California is now stagnating. Pray that the number of daily new cases will soon drop. Pray that people would receive their booster shots as soon as possible. Pray also that those who are infected would either have no symptoms or mild symptoms only.
- Pray for Bulgaria. Bulgaria is an Eastern European nation with about 7 million people. The Orthodox Christians are more than 80% of the population. Politics and economy have been more open since the nation joined the EU in 2007. However, corruption still exists in the country while organized crime keeps happening. Pray that the Lord will help the citizens of Bulgaria open their hearts to receive the word of Truth, to fight against sin and live out a holy life.
