二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為莫三比克禱告：雖然非洲莫三比克超過一半的人口是基督徒，但是該國境內對基督徒的迫害情形卻是相當嚴重。在過去幾年裡面，穆斯林極端分子對基督徒的迫害愈演愈烈。一個與伊斯蘭國有關的激進組織已經在全國各地造成許多基督徒被殺害或流離失所。請為這些流離失所與失去親人的基督徒在耶穌基督裡找到安慰與希望禱告。求神供應莫三比克教會一切物質與精神的需要。
Pray for Mozambique. More than half of the Mozambique’s population is Christian, yet persecution against them is severe. Islamic extremists brutally persecute them, and this persecution has increased over the past few years. A group associated with the Islamic State has killed and displaced believers across the country. Pray for the displaced and bereaved Christians to find solace and hope in Christ. Pray for God to provide the church in Mozambique in all their physical and spiritual needs. - 為美國禱告：美國近年來大規模槍擊事件與日俱增，光是2022年上半年就已經有超過300起的大規模槍擊事件，造成許多無辜的人受害，許多家庭失去他們的親人。求主幫助，立法禁止人民在公共場所攜帶任何攻擊性的武器，求神改變美國的人心，尋求神與神的幫助而不是以暴力解決問題。
