二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為新加坡禱告:新加坡作為一個國家,是亞太地區經濟發展最成功的一個範例。其中一個很重要的因素是其優越的港灣位置,使新加坡成為世界上最重要的商業貿易中心之一。許多人說新加坡人都只熱心追求工作、財富、車子、遊樂與房子。雖說如此,新加坡的福音派與靈恩派教會確有明顯的增長,許多高知識份子信主,他們信主對社會帶來的正面影響遠高過物質財富所帶來的影響。禱告新加坡教會以實際的行動向社會展示什麼是真實的祝福;求神幫助新加坡的基督徒在社會中發揮更多正面的影響。
Pray for Singapore. Singapore boasts one of the most successful economics in the Asia-Pacific region. A great part of this is thanks to its busy ports, which make it one of the biggest commercial centers in the world. It is said that Singaporeans are all after the five C’s: career, cash, car, club, and condo. Still amid this materialism, the church in Singapore is growing among evangelical and charismatic congregations. As many of the educated population are coming to Christ, they are influencing society in ways that bring blessings far greater than material wealth. Pray for the church to demonstrate in their actions what true blessing looks like. Praise God for the good influence that believers have on Singaporean society. - 為禱告復興禱告:求主感動弟兄姊妹參加5/19-20在本教會舉辦的興起南加禱告大會。求神藉著這個大會興起弟兄姊妹起來委身禱告,使弟兄姊妹一起在禱告中經歷神的大能,一同經歷神復興祂的教會。
Pray for Revival Prayer. Pray that the Lord would move people to sign up for the SoCal Prayer Conference scheduled on May 19-20. Pray that the Lord would use this conference to promote people to devote themselves to prayer, and experience God’s power and revival through prayers. - 為Global 6K禱告:求神感動弟兄姊妹踴躍參加5/20的Global 6K為清潔水健走跑活動。以實際的行動幫助在非洲的人們能有使用清潔方便的水源,也藉著我們的行動,讓許多非洲的人實際感受到神的愛,好讓當地的教會有機會向他們傳揚帶給人真正祝福的主的福音。
Pray for Global 6K. Pray that the Lord would move people to sign up for the Global 6K Running for Clean Water campaign schedule on May 20. Pray that through this campaign, people in Africa would have clean and ready water, so that they would feel the love from God, which would pave the way for the local church to share the Good News brining true blessings to people. - 為新信徒禱告:復活節當天教會有七位弟兄姊妹受洗,還有幾位弟兄姊妹會在本月底幸福小組結束後受洗。請為這些新受洗的基督徒禱告,求神堅固他們的信心,感動他們接受初信造就課程,好在信仰上成長,加入團契小組,好學習過教會生活,為主做見證。
Pray for New Believers. There were seven people baptized on Easter Sunday, and a few are receiving their baptism by the end of April. Pray that the Lord would strengthen their faith, and move them to be equipped for further growth in their faith, and become ready for His witness. - 為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
