Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Hospitality Ministries: Hospitality teams are the newcomers’ first impression of our church. Pray that the Lord remembers the effort of our hospitality teams, and raised up more people to join hospitality ministries. Pray that every newcomer would eventually join our church because of feeling the welcome and warmth from the hospitality teams.
  • Pray for Renewal: Pray for the spiritual renewal of our church. Pray that everyone in our church would experience the mighty work of the Holy Spirit, so that people would devote themselves more in His Word, have a better relationship with Him, be more fervent to the Great Commission, and commit deeper in the Great Commandment.
  • Pray for Taiwan STM: In middle July, our Taiwan STM team will hold an English Character Camp at EFC City Cheers, Taichung, Taiwan. Pray for the safety and health of our STM team. Also, pray that the Lord would use this English Character Camp to lead numerous people to Him.
  • 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 Greenland: Greenland is a self-governing division of Denmark. The country’s name means “midnight sun,” a name befitting a nation that sometimes has twenty-four hours of daylight for weeks on end. Their population is composed of Inuit and Danish descendants. The Lutheran Church holds the biggest presence, but a twisted view of modernity is spreading immorality, alcoholism, and suicide among their communities. There are faithful local believers and missionaries who serve in counseling and are witnessing the Holy Spirit’s work among the people. Pray for immorality, alcoholism, and suicide to lose their hold over Greenland. Praise God for the believers who faithfully serve their local communities.
