Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for the Evangelism. April is our “The Missions month”. Please pray for all the mission needs. This year’s our mission ministries include: “Happiness group”, D2B one-on-one ministry, VBS, short-term missions in Kyrgyzstan, and Taiwan Taichung Care church, and some brothers and sisters partici-pated in “West Coast Short-term Missions”. May God provide for all our fi-nancial needs, and keep our short-term mission teams serving and safe in different places.
  • Pray for Church. Since the “Asbury revival” started in February, it has gradually affected the United States and all parts of the world and began to pray for “spiritual revival”. May the fire of revival and worship continue to burn, so that the work of the Holy Spirit will not stop, so that God’s people will be filled with the desire for holiness, confess sins and repent, spread the gospel, and bring about changes in the country, society, com-munity, and campus.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and re-store their heath and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for the Nations.  With the convenience of online shopping, the way to buy drugs is more diversified than before. Drug dealers changed the names of drugs to “tea bags”, “biscuits”, and “candy” to cover up, and used convenience stores as trading locations to become channels for buyers to obtain drugs. After using drugs, drug addicts have a wrong perception of entertainment and trend culture. May the Lord give grace and healing, so that people can see the danger and fear of drugs, and stay away from all poisons.
