Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

Pray for leader discipleship training. There will be a happiness university training every Saturday starting from 2/4, and there will be leader discipleship training from 2/14-16. Pray that the participating elders, deacons, counselors, and group leaders can equip themselves, grow spiritually, and become servant leaders after God’s will.
Pray for Whole Person Renewal Camp. 2/17-18 Whole Person Renewal Camp led by Pastor Guo Kuanzong. Pray that the brothers and sisters who will participate can experience the Holy Spirit, regain their strength, heal those who are weak physically, and stir up those who are lacking in spirit.
Pray for Brothers & Sisters who are weak. Pray for brothers and sisters who are experiencing weakness, and ask God to heal them so that their bodies and minds can be healed and restored to health.

Pray for the world

Pray for the gun violence in America. Pray for hurt by the recent gun violence in our state. May God give wisdom to our leaders and shine light into this darkness.
Pray for Turkey. A huge earthquake killed more than thousands of people across a swathe of Turkey and northwest Syria on Monday, with freezing winter weather adding to the plight of the thousands left injured or homeless and hampering efforts to find survivors. We pray for the victims of the earthquake that God’s Peace will reach all those affected, and the community to be able to support humanitarian efforts in those areas.
