Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for VBS and Summer Short Term Mission Trip. Please pray for the VBS to be held from 6/10-14. Pray that God will lead parents and children to know God through the VBS program. In addition, pray for the Short Term Mission team that will go to Kyrgyzstan, Taichung, Taiwan West Coast Mission, and El Cajon. May Lord give them faith and strength, so that they can be bold to share the gospel and serve people in different cultural; may the team have a united heart to serve the Lord.
  • Pray for New Believers. Since the happiness group started this year, there are some brothers and sisters have been baptized. Pray that the Lord would strengthen their faith, and move them to be equipped for further growth in their faith, and become ready for His witness.
  • Prayer for Mother’s Day Joint Worship. This year’s Mother’s Day joint worship will be held on May 12th. Please pray for all the planning, details, worship process, and speakers for the Mother’s Day joint worship. May God also watch over and protect every mother, whether young, elderly, or sisters who are about to become mothers, may they all experience God’s grace.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for Faithful Inheritance. May the Lord make our next generation become children of God, standing firm on the path of righteousness and truth, not following the trends of the world, and not yielding to the desires of the heart. May the Lord fill the next generation with His grace, and may their faith be strengthened. We want to pray for the next generation who have drifted away from faith, asking the Lord to bring them back to God and to bring about a spiritual revival.
