一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 列王記上 3:9 1 Kings
9 所以求你賜我智慧,可以判斷你的民,能辨別是非。不然,誰能判斷這眾多的民呢?
9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為伊拉克禱告:伊拉克法定結婚年齡為十八歲以上,但全國約有28%女孩卻未登記就完婚;伊拉克國會更於去年提出“個人地位法”修正草案,慾將童婚合法化,剝奪女性人權,引發國民強烈地反對。求主使伊拉克國會能廢除這項依據伊斯蘭教而修正訂的草案,使兒童及女性能得到應有的保護。
Pray for Iraq: The legal age for marriage in Iraq is 18 and above, yet around 28% of girls across the country are married without official registration. Last year, the Iraqi Parliament proposed an amendment to the “Personal Status Law” aiming to legalize child marriage, thereby stripping away women’s rights and sparking strong public opposition. Pray that the Lord would move the Iraqi Parliament to abolish this proposed amendment, which is based on Islamic law, so that children and women may receive the protection they rightfully deserve.
2. 為2025上半年幸福小組及福音外展行動禱告:求主藉著各樣福音外展工作 ,恢復教會傳福音的能力,使傳福音成為教會的文化,恢復我們成為一個為福音,願意高度委身的教會。為教會今年110個受洗果子的目標禱告。
Pray for the 2025 spring Happiness Group and Evangelistic Outreach Efforts: Pray that the Lord would use various evangelistic outreach ministries to restore the church’s passion and effectiveness in sharing the gospel. May evangelism become a core culture of the church, and may we be renewed as a community deeply committed to the gospel. Also, pray for the church’s goal of seeing 110 people baptized this year.
3. 為教會禱告事工禱告:從4月份開始第二,四周為教會實體禱告會,禱告更多弟兄姐妹有感動參加,也為參加晨禱會,RPG小組禱告的家人們禱告,在禱告中更新得力。
Pray for the Church’s Prayer Ministry: Starting in April, the church will hold in-person prayer meetings on the second and fourth weeks of each month. Pray that more brothers and sisters will be moved to participate. Also, lift up those who join the morning prayer meetings and RPG (Revival Prayer Group) gatherings—that they may be renewed and strengthened through prayer.
4. 為大齋期和復活節禱告:禱告弟兄姊妹預備自己的心來慶祝復活節,在聖靈的光照下來省察和悔改自己的罪,感恩和紀念耶穌基督在十字架上為我們所做的,操練安靜等候神,確信復活是我們永恆的盼望。
Pray for Lent and Easter: Pray that brothers and sisters will prepare their hearts to celebrate Easter. May they examine themselves and repent of their sins under the illumination of the Holy Spirit, giving thanks and remembering what Jesus Christ accomplished for us on the cross. May they also practice waiting quietly before God, firmly believing that the resurrection is our eternal hope.
