二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為聖露西亞祈禱:聖露西亞位於加勒比海群島中,其文化融合了非洲、法國和英國的元素。 該國以生產香蕉而聞名。 儘管許多人自認為是基督徒,而且最近還推出了克里奧爾語聖經翻譯版,但許多家庭仍然破碎,而那些據稱可以驅除邪靈的儀式仍然盛行。 請為當地家庭祈禱,讓家庭得以經歷醫治以及以基督為中心的合一。 感謝上帝讓教會有強大的影響力,人們可以更容易獲得聖經。
Pray for Saint Lucia. Located among the Caribbean Islands, Saint Lucia draws its culture from Africa, France, and England. The country is known for its banana production. While many identify as Christian and a recently translated version of the Bible in Creole was made available, many families are broken and rituals that supposedly protect from evil spirits are prevalent practices. Pray for families to experience healing and Christ-centered unity. Praise God for a strong church presence and easy accessibility to Scripture.
2. 為美國禱告:為美國各級行政、立法、司法官員禱告,求神給他們智慧,凡事敬畏神,尋求神,存謙卑的心服事,帶領美國走向復興,使美國社會的各方面都彰顯出神同在的昌盛。
Pray for the US. Pray for the executive, legislative, and judicial officials at all levels in the United States. We ask God to give them wisdom to fear and to seek God in all things and to serve people with humility to lead America toward revival, making all aspects of American society manifest the prosperity of God’s presence.
3. 為新信徒禱告:復活節主日教會有21位弟兄姊妹受洗,求神堅固他們的信心,跟隨主不偏離。求神激勵他們參加團契小組,接受裝備課程,建立讀經禱告的生活習慣。
Pray for New Believers. On Easter Sunday, 21 brothers and sisters were baptized. May God strengthen their faith and help them follow the Lord steadfastly. Pray that God will inspire them to join fellowship groups, take equipping courses, and develop a habit of Bible reading and prayer.
4. 為教會合一禱告:求神賜下合一的靈在我们教會,使他的教會總是在合一中禱告敬拜神,在合一中肢體交通,在合一中關懷有需要的人,在合一中興旺福音。
Pray for Unity. May God grant the spirit of unity in our church, so that His church will always pray and worship God in unity, fellowship among the members in unity, care for those in need in unity, and share the gospel in unity.
5. 為肢體禱告:為你所知道身體欠安的弟兄姊妹禱告,求神醫治他們恢復身體的健康。
Pray for the Sick. Pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health, and ask God to heal them and restore them to good health.
