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 will begin on September 11th. 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 fathers. May God raise up every father to be a watchman for his children, and ask the Lord to strengthen their hearts, not to lose heart in failure, and not to give up in weakness. Pray that the Lord will break the curse of the father on the child in the past. Pray for the Lord to release the past domination of fathers over children. May the Lord help fathers to be willing to begin to accompany them with love, to wait in faith, and to turn the hearts of fathers and children back to Jesus, and to be willing to follow Jesus all their lives and become a vessel available to the Lord.
- 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 Pakistan. Pakistan is experiencing unprecedented torrential floods that have killed at least 903 people, including 326 children, and displaced thousands since mid-June! We pray that the Lord will give wisdom to the government and relief agencies so that they can have good strategies to deal with it. We also ask the Lord Jesus to help the displaced, experience His provision and guidance, and comfort the bereaved families. We also ask Lord to raise up local churches to bear witness to His glory in the midst of adversity. May the Lord light up Pakistan, so that every dark place begins to raise up a voice calling on you to turn the land back.
