Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Passion week and Easter. Pray that brothers and sisters prepare their hearts to celebrate Easter, not only reflecting on their own spiritual lives, but also deeply experiencing the sacrifice and love of Jesus Christ. May the Lord help us build a deeper relationship with Him, become more sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and continue to grow in our journey of faith.
  • Pray for Easter Baptism. There will be over ten people receiving baptism at Easter. Pray that they will develop a regular devotional life after becoming Christians, receive Christian education to grow in the knowledge of the Truth, and consistently participate in small groups.
  • 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.
  • 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.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for the US-Iran conflict. Pray for the US-Iran conflict focus on seeking peace, divine protection for troops, and wisdom for leaders to de-escalate tensions. They lift up civilians in both nations, asking for comfort for grieving families, protection of innocent lives, and a swift, just end to violence, promoting dialogue over destruction.
