Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for the church’s prayer ministry. Pray that brothers and sisters will be stirred up again in their zeal for the Lord, commit themselves to prayer, and experience God’s presence and power. Everyone is encouraged to participate in morning prayer meetings, Wednesday prayer meetings (online and in-person), and RPG group prayer. Let church revival begin with prayer.
  • Prayer for the EFC Ministerial Joint Meeting and EFCGA Meeting. From 2/21 to 24, there will be the EFC Ministerial Joint Meeting and EFCGA Meeting. Pastors and elders from the EFC family from all over the world will participate. Pray that the delegates will have a safe trip, renew the vision they received from the Lord, have wonderful fellowship, and witness the unity of the Holy Spirit and the establishment of a new leadership team.
  • Pray for the new immigrants in Monterey Park. With the recent increase in immigration from China, many people have gathered in Monterey Park. The Light of Life Evangelical Center, which was established at the end of 2022, focuses on evangelical work and has held 12 evangelistic meetings that led more than 700 people to believe in the Lord. Pray that more Christians and churches will participate in serving the needs of this group of people, lead them to believe in the Lord, and cultivate them into new members of the church who are committed to serving God.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Prayer for Sudan. In order to control and compete for power, conflicts among Sudanese warlords have become increasingly fierce, leaving the country facing a food crisis. About 20.3 million people in the country (about 41.3% of Sudan’s total population) experience severe food shortages, and about 6.3 million people are facing famine. Ask God to have mercy on the Sudanese people who are suffering from fear and hunger, save their souls, and provide them with all the needs of life.
