Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray Fellowships & Groups. We currently have over 30 fellowship groups in our church. We pray that God will protect and preserve the health of the advisors, chairpersons, and co-workers of each fellowship (small group), that they may have an intimate relationship with the Lord every day, and maintain a heart of longing and reverence. May they have a vibrant spiritual life.  We pray that God will grant them wisdom and discernment, so that they may be sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the ministries entrusted to them, and serve with great effectiveness. In their daily lives, may they learn to love one another, accept and tolerate each other’s weaknesses, and use constructive words to encourage and build up one another’s lives.
  • Pray summer STM preparation. 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, and El Cajon. May the Lord give them faith and strength, so that they can be bold to share the gospel and serve people in different cultures; may the team have a united heart to serve the Lord.
  • 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 the unemployed workers. Let us pray for the people who are looking for jobs. May the Lord personally support the unemployed people, comfort their weak hearts, and prevent their lives from falling into difficulties. May the Lord also cause the relevant social service organizations to provide timely assistance to the workers, so that they can overcome their economic difficulties through their labor.
