Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Vacation Bible School. The church will hold VBS on 6/12-16, invit-ing children and teenagers aged 4-12 to participate, and also provide free “how to raise children” parent lectures. Prayer for participation of children and families in the community and the imparting of biblical values.
  • Pray for Revival Prayer. Pray that the Lord would move brothers and sis-ters to participate in 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.
  • Pray for New Believers. Since the happiness group started this year, more than 10 brothers and sisters have been baptized. 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.
  • 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 Mexico. By 2022, all 32 states in Mexico have passed bills to legalize same-sex marriage. At first, only the capital Mexico City and some states recognized it. After 13 years, the whole country passed the bill. May the Lord have mercy on Mexico and the Central and South American countries, so that they will turn back from the wrong path, escape from the bondage of sin, and know the true gospel.
