二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為法國禱告:法國以其藝術、時尚和美食而聞名,是世界上最受歡迎的旅遊目的地之一。 其大部分人口名義上是基督徒,其中約有五千萬人與任何教會沒有聯繫,80% 的人從未接觸過聖經。 由於無神論和後現代相對論是流行的哲學,許多人陷入絕望和絕望的循環,導致自殺率偏高。 儘管如此,仍然有希望,因為每年都有數十座教堂被建立。 禱告人們藉著在基督裡找到了希望而自殺率下降。 為每年不斷有新的教會被建立讚美神。
Pray 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.
2.為聖靈更新禱告:為教會經歷聖靈更新,使弟兄姊妹對主的熱誠再被挑旺起來,人們離棄自己今生的驕傲與眼目的情慾,委身於禱告,熱心查考神的話語,喜愛與人分享福音,神蹟奇事不斷發生在我们中間。
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.
3.為全人更新營禱告:為教會大多數的弟兄姊妹都報名參加2/9,10的全人更新營禱告。為弟兄姊妹能在營會中經歷聖靈工作,信心再被挑望禱告。為講員曾星富牧師與他的同工禱告,求神使用他們祝福我們的教會,帶下復興在我们中間。
Pray 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.
4.為粵語堂禱告:粵語主日聚會自二月份起從每隔週聚會改為每週聚會。求神將講粵語在尋找教會的弟兄姊妹帶到我们中間。求神興起粵語堂的弟兄姊妹,引領更多講粵語的人認識主。求神在粵語堂的弟兄姊妹當中興起更多同工起來服事主。
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.
5.為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
