Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for who will be baptized recently. The current Happiness Group has concluded, and some brothers and sisters will be baptized on Thanksgiving Sunday. Pray that God strengthens their faith, equips them after baptism, helps them grow in truth, and prepares them to serve God and lead others to believe in the Lord. Also, pray for those who have already made their commitments to Christ, asking God to move them to continue coming to church so that they may be baptized and become disciples of Jesus.
  • Pray for EM who are ready to Baptize. Pray for the youth of the English congregation who will be baptized on Thanksgiving Sunday. Thank the Lord for their salvation at such a young age. Ask God to help them establish a clear understanding of the truth, strengthen their faith to follow Jesus, transform their lives, and make their lives a beautiful testimony.
  • Pray for Prayer Ministries. Pray that the Lord would raise up His church to devote in prayer. The Lord would revive His church through prayer. Pray that besides daily personal prayer, everyone would also pray in groups at least once a week.
  • 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 Global Student Evangelism. Please pray for the evangelistic work among students around the world. May students, as they pursue learning and search for the meaning of life, come to know Jesus and the truth. Ask the Lord to raise up campus missionaries, student fellowships, and Christian teachers in every place, providing the necessary resources and manpower for gospel ministry. Give them love and wisdom, bear witness to God’s love and become good guides for the students. Pray that the Holy Spirit would capture the hearts of the young generation, setting them apart as Nazirite-like servants dedicated to God.
