Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Revival. Pray that our church would be fervent to the Lord through the mighty work of the Spirit. People would forsake their pride of life and lust of eyes and flesh, but devote themselves to prayer, study the Word of God diligently, love to share the gospel. Miracles and wonders continue to happen among us.
  • Prayer for Revival Camp. Pray that many people of our church would sign up for the Revival Camp on Feb 9 and 10. We pray people would experience the work of the Spirit and their faith would be renewed. Pray that the Lord would bless and bring down revival through the speaker, Pastor Xing-Fu Tseng, and his team.
  • Pray for Cantonese Service. Our church will change the Cantonese Sunday service from bi-weekly to weekly from February. Pray that the Lord would lead those Cantonese speaking believers who are seeking a church to ours. We also pray that the Cantonese speaking brothers and sisters would reach out and bring many to the Lord. Pray that the Lord would raise up many new leaders to serve Him among them.
  • 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

  • Prayer for France. Known for its art, fashion, and cuisine, France is the most visited tourist destination in the world.  Most of its population is nominally Christian, with around fifty million having no connection to any church and 80 percent never having touched the Bible.  Because atheist and post-modern relativity are prevalent philosophies, many are caught in a cycle of despair and hopelessness, leading to a high number of suicides.  Still, there is hope as dozens of churches are being planted every year.  Pray for the suicide rates to go down as people find hope in Christ.  Praise God for the church plants that are growing every year.
