PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

Pray for church revival. Pray that God revive His church so that they will be filled with the Holy Spirit, pray persistently, and worship frequently. In September, the church will resume physical prayer meetings, and pray that God will move brothers and sisters to participate and pray with one heart.
Pray for happiness group outreach. September is the beginning of the happiness group outreach. Pray that God will inspire more brothers and sisters to form small groups to share the Gospel. Pray for the Whole Per-son Renewal Camp on 9/8-9, so that co-workers will be equipped and edified. A 9/17 gospel movie can be an opportunity to invite friends.
Pray for the campus ministry of Citrus College. Citrus College will start at the end of August, and the Citrus Campus Fellowship will resume gatherings after the summer vacation, and preach the gospel to college students through dinner and Alpha courses. Please pray for the co-workers, God leads students with open hearts to come among us.
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 Cape Verde. The Republic of Cape Verde, located in the North Atlantic Ocean of Africa, is an island country with a total population of nearly 550,000. Although 97% of the population is Catholic, superstition and African fetishism are prevalent there. Because Cape Verde is an isolated archipelago, not only is it difficult for missionaries to settle in the country, but it is also extremely difficult for local communities to do Bible translation work. Pray that the Lord take care of the Bible translation ministry, so that missionary actions in this place will flourish.
