Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for our older brothers and sisters. We have many older brothers and sisters in our church. May God provide for the needs of our older brothers and sisters, some of them are sick, some of them are bedridden and need help, some of them are live alone, and some of them have lost their peace and joy. Pray that God keeps them and they will not lose faith in the midst of loneliness and sickness.
  • Pray for for New Elders and Deacons. We have selected the team of Elders and Deacons in October. Pray the Lord to grant wisdom, grace and ability that executive team can learn to help, coordinate each other with different gifts, grow in service, and have an untied heart.
  • Pray for New Comers. Pray for those who come to our church recently, some are already Christians looking for a suitable church, and some are unbelievers referred by our brothers and sisters. Pray for them to be willing to seek the God’s word and like to stay and make church their home. Pray also that they would join any groups besides Sunday service for a normal Christian life. 
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are ill and restore their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for Social and Security problems of the United States.  In the post-epidemic era, unemployment, loneliness of isolation, and anxiety about the economic environment have made people more depressed and angry; the crime rate of murder, guns, violence, robbery, theft, etc. continues to rise; many people feel panic and fear about the widespread social security deterioration in the United States. Pray God to turn people’s hearts to be able to abandon sin, understand the truth, and turn back to God.
