  7. Action of Love: Samuel Tsou is a single brother in his forties, currently living alone. The government subsidy has also been stopped after being recently diagnosed with colon cancer and unable to work after chemotherapy. As a result, he encountered financial difficulties and is about to be evicted by the landlord. Hope the brothers and sisters can help him through the current difficulties (at least maintain the original rental apartment, and receive medical treatment). Ask the Lord to help us “see the need and reach out.” To donate, please go to Gofundme.com page and Search for Tsou (Help Samuel to survive).

Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for the June 18th Activity. The church joins Chinese Herald’s Walk for the Needy Campaign. This is campaign’s goal is to raise funds for the needy in our communities. Pray that the Lord would move many brothers and sisters from our church to join this campaign. Pray also for Song of Songs and Gospel fellowships, who are in charge of a food stand in this campaign.
  • Pray for Baptism. There is one person from the children’s congregation and another one from Harvest LA going to take their baptismal class, respectively. Pray that the baptismal class would help them have a clear idea about the Christian faith, and strengthen their commitment to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
  • Pray for Brother Samuel. Brother Samuel has colon cancer and is under medical treatment. Pray that the Lord would heal brother Samuel. Brother Samuel cannot work currently. Also, pray that the Lord would move the church to help brother Samuel’s daily needs.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for Kenya. Even though the vast majority of Kenya’s population is Christian, persecution is an issue in the northeast and coastal regions, where the majority is Muslim. Many Christians have had to flee their villages due to extremists’ attacks and violence has been on the increase over the last four years. Pray for God to protect Christians in the northeast and coastal regions and for the church in Kenya to continue influencing the nation with the gospel.
  • Pray for America. Pray for officials at all levels of legislation, judiciary, and executive in the United States to fear God and do justice; pray for America’s gun issue, abortion, and the revival of the American church.
