一、 本週經文 Scriptures: 羅馬書8：24-25 Romans
羅馬書8：24我們得救是在乎盼望，只是所見的盼望不是盼望，誰還盼望他所見的呢？25 但我們若盼望那所不見的，就必忍耐等候。
Romans 8:24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為待業青年禱告：根據國際勞工組織報告，2024年全球失業率為5％，但青年失業率高達12.6％，顯示年輕人就業困難。讓我們一起為正在找工作（找不到工作），生活困苦的人禱告，求神在他們感到無助時，賜下盼望與力量，帶領他們找到合適的工作，並供應每日所需，使他們經歷到神的信實。
Prayer for Unemployed Youth. According to the International Labor Organization, the global unemployment rate in 2024 was 5%, but youth unemployment reached as high as 12.6%, showing the difficulties young people face in finding jobs.

May God grant them hope and strength in times of helplessness, lead them to suitable job opportunities, and provide for their daily needs, so that they may experience His faithfulness.

Pray for Outreach Groups. This Fall, we have outreach groups from the Mandarin Congregations. Please pray for the members of these groups and ask God to give them the same heart and mind and work together in sharing the gospel.
