Prayer Requests

Pray for  The World

  • Prayer for Honduras. Honduras is the second largest nation in Central Ameri-ca and is known for its rich natural resources, including beautiful beaches, diverse wildlife, bananas, and coffee. As a result of its long history of polit-ical unrest, it is one of the most unstable countries in the region. It suffers from extreme poverty, and children – who make up more than half the population – are especially vulnerable to the violence that is rampant in the country. The Christian population in increasingly nominal, but the evangelical has been growing in influence..

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Prayer for Newcomers. We have newcomers every Sunday.  Pray that the Lord would give us the gift of caring, so that people would warmly welcome the newcomers and help them join our church..
  • Pray for Outreach Ministries. Pray for those who are in Happiness Groups.  Through the activities, the seekers would open their hearts and accept Christ as their saviors.  Pray for those who are using D2B to reach out.  Pray that the Holy Spirit would break the strongholds of the seekers, so that they would make their decision for Christ.
  • Prayer for Baptism. We have six children and teenagers are taking their baptismal class.  They will receive their baptism at Easter.  Pray that through the baptismal class, they would clearly understand what they believe and decide to follow Jesus and serve Him.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
