Prayer Requests
Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)
- Pray for Recruitment: Pastors and elders are recruiting the candidates of elders and deacons for the next year. Pray that the recruitment would be smooth, so that the church would have adequate leaders to carry on different ministries in next year.
- Pray for Happiness Groups: Our Fall Happiness Group campaign is only a month away. Pray that the Lord would move our brothers and sisters to have a burden in evangelism, and form different happiness groups to reach out to their family, friends, or neighbors.
- Pray for Courtyard renovation. Courtyard renovation has started on August 22nd. The project will take approximately 6 weeks. Pray that God will protect the safety of all workers and those who come in and out during the construction, and the project can be carried out smoothly. Also pray for the renovation fund will be fulfilled.
- Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
Pray for the world
- Pray for China. China is known to have oppressively thorough surveillance system that monitors all religious activities. The government only allows state-sanctioned Protestant churches to operate and many churches are being closed down. Children and teenagers under eighteen are not allowed to attend church at all. If unsanctioned Christian activity is discovered, the participants are arrested and re-educated. Pray that Christians in China will persevere in their faith despite intense surveillance and persecution.
