Prayer Requests
PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)
- Pray for the upcoming Church Congregational Meeting on October 19. May the Lord reign over the entire process with unity, peace, and wisdom, so that all decisions may align with His will and glorify His name.
- Pray for the newly appointed leaders. May God grant them a vision of unity and strengthen their faith, helping them remain steadfast in prayer and close to His Word, receiving vision and strength for their ministry and be-coming examples of spiritual maturity.
- Pray for ourselves. May the Lord help us draw near to Him daily through prayer and devotion, living a life that abides in Christ—wise in what is good, innocent in what is evil, and walking in love and truth.
- Pray for the Sick. Pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health. Ask God to heal them and restore their physical health.
PRAY FOR THE WORLD
- Pray for Namibia. Namibia is located in southwestern Africa. Although more than 80% of its population identify as Christians, most are only Christians in name and lack the practice of faith in their daily lives. The country has the sixth-highest HIV infection rate in the world, and about 11% of its children have lost their parents to AIDS. The gap between the rich and the poor is also extremely wide. Let us pray together for Namibia. May the Lord’s mercy and grace come upon those who are suffering from poverty and AIDS.
