二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為伊朗禱告:在伊朗,儘管從伊斯蘭教改信基督教是非法的行為,福音仍廣傳到伊朗各地,教會正經歷復興。當地基督徒被政府利用科技來監控生活,透過數據,照片,獲取通訊軟體的訊息及通話錄音等,使他們面臨被囚禁,受審,被處以死刑等威脅。讓我們一起禱告,求神憐憫,保護伊朗的基督徒和教會。
Pray for Iran. Even though conversion from Islam to Christianity is illegal in Iran, the gospel is being preached throughout the country and the church is experiencing a revival. Local Christians are being monitored by the government using technology to monitor their lives, using data, photos, messages from communication software, and call recordings. They face threats of imprisonment, trial, and execution. Let us pray together for God’s mercy and protection for Christians and churches in Iran.
2. 為洛福教會秋季幸福小組禱告:本週末(9/6-7)有全人更新營,禱告參加的同工和初信基督徒都能夠在聚會中經歷聖靈的更新。9月開始的幸福小組,也求神感動弟兄姊妹願意付代價,委身傳福音,遵守耶穌的大使命。
Pray for the Autumn Happiness Group of EFCLA. There will be a renewal camp this weekend (9/6-7). Pray that participating co-workers and new believers will be able to experience the renewal of the Holy Spirit in the gathering. Also pray to God to move the brothers and sisters to be willing to pay the price, commit themselves to sharing the gospel, and abide by the Great Commission of Jesus.
3. 為華語中學生小組禱告:華語中學生小組是華語堂最年輕的小組,每周日下午聚會,現在大約有8-10為中學生,大部分還沒有信主。禱告神藉著Alpha Youth的課程打開他們的心,願意開始思考和尋求信仰。也禱告神感動有同工願意委身來服事這群年輕人。
Pray for the Mandarin youth group. The Mandarin youth group is the youngest small group in the Mandarin Congregation. It meets every Sunday afternoon.

Pray that God will use Alpha Youth’s courses to open their hearts and make them willing to start thinking and seeking faith. Also pray that God will inspire some co-workers to be willing to devote themselves to serving this group of young people.
4. 為9-11月的華語主日學禱告:9月份開始教會提供不同的主日學,有針對認識信仰,初信造就,婚姻家庭,和新約綜覽。禱告弟兄姊妹有渴慕學習成長的心,願意來積極參加主日學的學習。
Pray for the Sunday School from September to November. Starting from September, church will provide different Sunday schools, focusing on understanding faith, edification of new believers, marriage and family, and New Testament overview. Pray that brothers and sisters will have a desire to learn and grow, and be willing to actively participate in Sunday school studies.
