32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為北韓禱告:北韓已經連續二十年蟬聯全世界逼迫基督徒最厲害的國家。因為大多數信徒必須守口如瓶,北韓真實的基督徒數目無從知道。不過據估計北韓有四十萬基督徒,而其中有約七萬人是被關押在勞改營或是監獄。祈求神堅固北韓弟兄姊妹的信心,供應他們的需要,又使福音繼續在北韓傳揚。
Pray for North Korea. North Korea has ranked first place in persecuting Christians for the twentieth year in a row. In fact, believers have to keep their faith so well-hidden that is hard to know their exact number. It is estimated that there are four hundred thousand Christians, with around seventy thousand of them incarcerated in hard labor camps and prisons. Pray for God to strengthen them and provide for their needs, and for the gospel to continue spreading in North Korea.
- 為烏克蘭禱告:已經有350萬烏克蘭人逃往鄰近的波蘭(超過二百萬人)、摩爾多瓦、斯洛伐克、匈牙利與羅馬尼亞,這已經造成這些國家物資的欠缺與財政上的壓力。同時俄軍也已經展開對烏克蘭無差別式的攻擊,預計很快會有大量的平民傷亡。求神憐憫,供應烏克蘭鄰國在接待難民上的需要,同時讓戰爭早日結束,減少人員傷亡。
Pray for Ukraine. There have been more 3.5 millions of Ukrainians fled their country for life. Over 2 million of them entered Poland. The adjacent countries of Ukraine, such as Moldova and Slovakia, are facing short of supplies and financial burdens. Also, the Russian army is launching an undistinguishing attack against the Ukrainians. We expect that the death toll would be soon mounting. Pray that the Lord has mercy on Ukraine, would provide needs for the refugees, and would end the war soon.
- 為團契小組禱告:為團契部的劉柏成長老、羅子甯執事、張振琳執事以及各團契與小組的輔導以及小組長禱告。求神使用這些寶貴的同工,帶領弟兄姊妹在真道上成長,在傳福音上熱心,過團契的生活,幫助有需要的人。
Pray for Fellowship Ministries. Pray for Elder Alfred Liu, Deacon Jenny Lo, Deacon Kevin Chang, and the advisers and group leaders of fellowships and small groups. Pray that the Lord would use them to lead our brothers and sisters to grow in faith, to share their faith with the Lost, to conduct fellowship life, and to help people in need. - 為幸福小組禱告:本期幸福小組一共有七組,4/3 開始連續八週,BEST參與幸福小組。請為BEST得救禱告,請為帶歌、做見證、講信息,陪伴BEST,佈置場地,準備餐點的同工禱告。
Pray for Happiness Group. We have seven Happiness Groups this season. The BESTs will join us from Apr 3 for eight weeks. Pray for the salvation of the BESTs. Pray for the Happiness Groups teams. - 為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹或是確診的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick or infected. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.
