一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 路加福音18:7 Luke
7神所揀選的人晝夜向他呼求,難道他竟會不給他們伸冤嗎?難道 神會耽誤他們嗎?
7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為阿富汗禱告:在塔利班取得政權之後,迫害基督徒的情形在阿富汗變得愈來愈殘忍。不論是阿富汗人或是外國人的基督徒都可能因為他們的信仰而遭到迫害。根據〝開門〞這個幫助受迫害的教會的機構的評估,阿富汗現在在世界上是僅次於北韓最逼迫基督徒的國家。求神堅固在阿富汗基督徒的信心,在逼迫中求神讓信主的人反倒增加。

Any Christian, whether native or foreigner, is in danger on account of their faith.

Pray that the Afghani believers, for them to be strengthened in their faith, and for their numbers to grow. - 為新冠疫情禱告:加州新冠肺炎每日新增確診人數已經進入衰退期,求神讓疫情盡快消退,到四月的時候人們的工作生活都可以絕大部分恢復正常。
