一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 以斯拉記 9:15 Ezra
15 耶和華─以色列的 神啊,因你是公義的,我們這剩下的人才得逃脫,正如今日的光景。看哪,我們在你面前有罪惡,因此無人在你面前站立得住。
15 Lord, the God of Israel, you are righteous! We are left this day as a remnant. Here we are before you in our guilt, though because of it not one of us can stand in your presence.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

  1. 為葛摩禱告:葛摩是非洲東岸,位於印度洋莫三比克海峽北部人口不到一百萬人的海島國家。全國有約4,200人是基督徒,雖然外國人可以自由選擇他們的信仰,但是當地人並沒有這樣的權利,所以當地基督徒不能公開他們的信仰也不能傳福音。求神堅固葛摩基督徒的信心又將得救的人加添在他們中間。
    Pray for Comoros. Comoros is a small island off Africa’s east coast with a population of less than a million inhabitants, out of which about 4,200 identify as Christian. Christians are pressured to keep their faith private because they face legal consequences if they share their faith with others. While foreigners are free to practice whichever faith they desire, locals are not given that freedom. Pray for God to strengthen and add to the number of Christians in Comoros.
  2. 為愛心路跑禱告:為教會能在5月21日之前成功募集超過美金2000元(已募得近1300元)禱告。求神興起弟兄姊妹踴躍參加6公里愛心路跑活動,在路跑過程中體會非洲人取得水的辛勞,更激發教會以實際行動幫助他們,並從基督徒身上體驗神對他們的愛。
    Pray for Global 6K. Pray that we may successfully collect over two thousand dollars by May 21. Pray that the Lord would raise up more people to join this campaign this year. Pray that through this campaign people in Africa would experience love from God through Christians’ benevolent move.
  3. 為學生事工禱告:為中英文學生事工的輔導們禱告,求神藉著他們的服事使學生們在真道上扎根,在信心上堅固,在傳福音上有負擔。求神差派英文學生事工的傳道人到我們中間。
    Pray for Student Ministries. Pray for the Chinese and English student advisers. Pray that through their ministries, students would grow in their knowledge of God, undergird their faith in Christ, and have a burden in sharing the gospel. Let the Lord raise up a student minister for us.
  4. 為幸福小組禱告:為BEST能繼續參加特別週的幸福小組禱告,禱告這些BEST能與不同團契小組的成員有深刻的交流。為十餘位BEST早日打開心門接受主禱告。
    Pray for Happiness Group. Pray that BESTs would join the special week (the fourth meeting) of Happiness Group. Pray that those ten some BESTs would soon accept Christ.
  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。
    Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.
