二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為馬爾代夫禱告:馬爾代夫受到伊斯蘭教律法的嚴格管控,是世界上嚴重逼迫基督教的國家之一。在當地建立教會是非法的行為,也沒有當地母語的整本聖經翻譯,因此在國家嚴密的監控下,基督徒移工幾乎不能維持信仰生活。讓我們一起為馬爾代夫禱告,願真理的福音傳遍每個地方,轉化這片土地。
Pray for the Maldives. The Maldives is strictly controlled by Islamic law and is one of the countries in the world that severely persecutes Christianity. It is illegal to establish a local church, and there is no translation of the entire Bible in the local mother tongue. Therefore, under strict state surveillance, Christian migrant workers can hardly maintain their faith life. Let us pray together for the Maldives. May the gospel of truth spread to every place and transform this land.
2.為春季幸福小組外展事工禱告:從3/3開始,春季幸福小組開跑。請為同工們的愛心,信心,合一和謙卑服事禱告,為聚會中聖靈的工作禱告,也求主把他揀選的人加添到幸福小組中。
Pray for the outreach ministry of Happiness Group. Starting from 3/3, the Spring Happiness Group has launched. Please pray for the love, faith, unity and humble service of the co-workers, pray for the work of the Holy Spirit in the meetings, and ask the Lord to add His chosen people to the happiness group.
3.為復活節聚會禱告:3/29是Good Friday Service, 3/31是復活節主日。禱告弟兄姊妹預備自己的心,再思耶穌基督為我們的受難和復活,提醒我們感恩的心和對復活的盼望。英文堂和兒童堂分別有受洗班,禱告慕道友朋友可以認識真理,遇見耶穌,受洗成為神的兒女。
Pray for Easter gatherings. 3/29 is Good Friday Service, and 3/31 is Easter Sunday. Pray that brothers and sisters will prepare their hearts, think again about the suffering and resurrection of Jesus Christ for us, and remind us of our grateful hearts and hope for resurrection. There are baptism classes in the Harvest LA and Children Congregation. We pray that seekers can know the truth, meet Jesus, and be baptized to become children of God.
4.為華語中學生小組禱告:這是華語堂最年輕的小組,由一些講華語的中學生組成,有基督徒也有慕道友朋友。禱告同工有智慧和愛心服事他們,也禱告這些年輕人在聚會中不僅玩得開心,找到朋友,更重要的是認識信仰,建立在基督裡的新生命。
Pray for the Mandarin-speaking student group. This is the youngest group in the Mandarin Congregation. It is composed of some Mandarin-speaking middle school and high school students, including Christians and seekers. Pray that co-workers will serve them with wisdom and love, and pray that these young people will not only have fun and find friends in the gathering, but more importantly, learn about faith and build a new life in Christ.
5.為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求主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 health and strength.
