Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Happiness Group. The Happiness Group has entered its fourth week, and individuals referred to as BEST in each group have already ex-pressed their willingness to accept Jesus. In the coming weeks, pray for them to obtain the heart of BEST. Ask the Holy Spirit to help coworkers effectively break through the lies and bondage that have blinded the BESTs in their lives, to dispel various disturbances that reject God’s revelation, and to add sufficient strength and grace to coworkers. Pray for the effective destruction of the enemy’s work.
  • Pray for the One Church Day event. May the Lord use the One Church Day event to connect brothers and sisters from different congregations. Pray that the Lord will safeguard the weather, venue, service workers, and all preparations for One Church Day, ensuring everything goes smoothly. Al-so, pray that the brothers and sisters of the church can participate as much as possible on that day so that this event can foster greater unity within the church and deepen love and mutual understanding among members.
  • 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

  • Pray for the West Coast of Taiwan. Dark powers engage in idol processions, renewing their covenant with the land each year. The Mazu processions along the West Coast are Taiwan’s largest-scale procession events. Not only do the processions form alliances among temples in various towns and villages along the route, but people, businesses, corporations, media, government agencies, schools, and others across Taiwan also re-new their covenant with the dark powers through sponsorship fees, bridge receptions, worship rituals, etc., each year. Through these covenants, the dark powers can freely oppress and ravage the people on the land. Pray that the churches and all God’s people on the West Coast will rise up as an army of warfare and warriors of intercession. May our altars be increasingly prosperous, bringing forth the power of God, and may the Lord perform miracles to release the people of the West Coast, causing many to turn and trust in Jesus.
  • Pray for Martinique. Pray for Haiti. From the devastating earthquake in 2010 to the assassination of the president in 2021 without warning, Haiti has been in continuous turmoil for over a decade, plunging its people into a tremendous crisis. In recent days, due to gang violence, the country has been paralyzed for weeks, and the prime minister has been forced to resign. Haiti’s social unrest is closely related to rampant gang activity. Over the past few decades, the Haitian government, fearing a military coup, dissolved the army and allied with criminal gangs, cooperating with a secret police system to carry out terror rule. Please pray for the stability of Haiti and the safety of its people. .
