Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for EFCLA. Beginning in April is the church’s annual mission month. May the Holy Spirit empower brothers and sisters to be willing to step out of their comfort zone, not only to listen to the Word but also to do it. May the Lord make more people eager for the gospel and willing to spread the gospel, live out the gospel, and learn from Jesus to pay the price for the gospel, no matter what form it takes to achieve the goal of witnessing for the Lord Jesus. May the Lord Jesus grant power so that brothers and sis-ters will not only have the motivation to change, but also have the ability to change, and be molded by the Lord step by step so that God’s church will be full of power and saved people.
  • Pray for the ongoing work of evangelism. Pray for the Happiness Groups and D2B: Please pray for the co-workers involved in the Happiness Groups. Pray that God would use their ice breakers, songs, testimonies, messages and companionship to touch the hearts of the BEST and lead them to Jesus Christ. Pray for the brothers and sisters who are in D2B. Pray that God would use them to use the D2B materials to break through the strong strongholds in the hearts and lead them to know Jesus.
  • 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 Taiwan’s west coast summer Short-Term missions. In the popula-tion distribution of Taiwan’s Christians and churches, there is a big gap be-tween the conversion rate and the number of temples on the west coast, especially the temples and activities on the west coast are the most active. Summer Short-term missions will serve the next generation to know Jesus through Vacation Bible schools and youth camps.
  • Pray for Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan is a relatively stable and peaceful country with rich resources, but many witchcraft and fortune-telling among them show the fear in the hearts of Kyrgyz people. They desperately need God’s truth and peace. Pray that the people of Kyrgyzstan will hallow the name of God, know the only true God, and be saved in the name of Jesus Christ. May the Spirit of the Lord intervene in the interactions between the five Central Asian countries and China, Russia, the United States, and neighboring countries, and may God’s will for the five Central Asian countries be fulfilled.
