Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Renewal Camp and Happiness Group. We are going to have the “Life Renewal Camp” on 9/8-9. May God lead the brothers and sisters who participating can experience the renewal of the Holy Spirit, receiving healing and deliverance. The Happiness Group will start on 9/24. May the Lord enable us to invite unbelieving friends to experience the new life in the Lord Jesus. Hope more brothers and sisters who are willing to participate in this ministry and serve together.
  • Pray for Children Sunday school. Our CC is starting a new season in Sep-tember. Let us pray that every child will accept Jesus Christ as their savior and Lord of their life. Hope they develop an intimate relationship with God and love to know Jesus. Let us also help parents to have a positive interac-tion with Sunday school teachers and to live out their faith with their chil-dren in daily life. Pray for teachers teach Bible to children with all their heart, accompany them with love, prepare lessons faithfully, and become excellent children’s servants.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and re-store their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for Vietnam.  Vietnam is one of the countries that persecute Christians, but not long ago, Vietnam held a large-scale evangelistic gathering with over 40,000 attendees, of which more than 4,300 people accepted Jesus. Family churches in Vietnam are always under government surveillance, and Christians are treated differently in society. May the Lord strengthen the faith of those who are determined and make the life-giving gospel flourish throughout Vietnam.
