Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Adult Sunday School Class. The church will offer some Adult Sun-day School Classes: “1 Corinthians, 2 Kings”, “Why I should Believe-Faith Course”, “Abundant Grace- Knowing Bible Course “, These courses help believers gain a deeper understanding of God’s words. Let us pray for the teachers who are leading these courses, that they may be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Let us also pray for all believers to have a deep thirst and desire for God’s Word. May they be equipped through studying the Scriptures and grow towards spiritual maturity.
  • Pray for STM. The church would send off a STM team to Kyrgyzstan and Taiwan in late June, and another STM team to Taiwan West Coast Mission and El Cajon, CA in July & August. We need sixty thousand dollars for STM. Pray that the Lord would move people give for STM.
  • 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 Youth Group. According to surveys, one of the reasons why young people no longer attend church is due to a “lack of communication”. Young people often feel that elders hold authority and take a moral high ground in viewing things, making them feel misunderstood, and thus unwilling to go to church. Pray that God will help Christian families, through the guidance of God’s Word, to revive their spiritual lives again, and be able to pass on their faith steadfastly and faithfully to the next generation.
