Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray Pray for the church’s newly nominated elder/deacon candidates. We call with one heart that every candidate has the characteristics of Barnabas. Acts 11:24 describes Barnabas in particular: He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. We call with one heart that every deacon act with good morals and often desires to let the Holy Spirit work in their life, rather than acting on their own or on human flesh. We call, all candidates to have spiritual power and have great faith by serving God, and by trusting in God, and a great number of people will be brought into the Lord.
  • Pray for the BEST list. May the Lord give more love to people and souls, not just for what Jesus commanded, but to have a heart of true love, and to pray for all co-workers, so that Jesus can restore our enthusiasm for Him and aim at the real enemy. The real enemy is not people who can be seen, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We ask the Lord to give us unity. May God give us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.
  • Pray for the Renewal Camp. Let’s pray and ask the Lord to give us a spirit of renewal, repentance, and unity. We also pray for the preparation team and the brothers and sisters who are attending, that through the exploration and cleansing of their lives, they will break the prison and limitations that have bound their lives in the past, and because of the love of our Heavenly Father, brothers and sisters will be restored to the identity of God’s children, and will experience God’s power and cleansing, so that they will have the ability to fight for the Lord.
  • Pray for the Sick: Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for the Wildfires and Recovery in Hawaii.  Heavenly Father, we pray that you send rain of grace in Hawaii to stop all wildfires so that the local government can have a plan from heaven for disaster relief and reconstruction. In this disaster and shock, may the local residents or tourists be safe and guarded, and know salvation!
