一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 馬太福音26: 6-10 Matthew
6耶穌在伯大尼長大痲瘋的西門家裡，7有一個女人拿著一玉瓶極貴的香膏來，趁耶穌坐席的時候，澆在他的頭上。8門徒看見就很不喜悅，說：「何用這樣的枉費呢！9這香膏可以賣許多錢，賙濟窮人。」10耶穌看出他們的意思，就說：「為甚麼難為這女人呢？她在我身上做的是一件美事。」
6 While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper, 7 a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. 8 When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9 “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” 10 Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me.
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為洛福教會禱告：四月份開始是教會年度宣教月，求聖靈賜給弟兄姊妹願意走出自己的舒適圈，不僅聽道、也願意行道。求主使更多的弟兄姊妹不但渴慕福音、也願意傳福音、更能活出福音，並且學習耶穌為福音付上代價，不管以任何的形式來達到為主耶穌做見證的目的。求主耶穌賜下能力，使弟兄姊妹不但有改變的動機、更有改變的能力，一點一點地被主塑造成型，使神的教會充滿能力及得救的人。
Pray for Church. Beginning in April is the church’s annual mission month. May the Holy Spirit empower brothers and sisters to be willing to step out of their comfort zone, not only to listen to the Word but also to do it. May the Lord make more people eager for the gospel and willing to spread the gospel, live out the gospel, and learn from Jesus to pay the price for the gospel, no matter what form it takes to achieve the goal of witnessing for the Lord Jesus. May the Lord Jesus grant power so that brothers and sisters will not only have the motivation to change, but also have the ability to change, and be molded by the Lord bit by bit so that God’s church will be full of power and saved people. - 為正在進行的福音工作禱告：為幸福小組、懷相禱告：請為參與幸福小組的同工們禱告，求神使用他們的破冰、歌唱、見證、信息與陪伴，感動BEST的心，帶領他們認識耶穌基督。為正在懷相對課的弟兄姊妹禱告，求神使用他們，使用懷相材料，攻破慕道友心中的堅固營壘，領人認識耶穌。
Pray for the ongoing work of evangelism. Pray for the Happiness Groups and D2B: Please pray for the co-workers involved in the Happiness Groups. Pray that God would use their ice breakers, songs, testimonies, messages and companionship to touch the hearts of the BEST and lead them to Jesus Christ. Pray for the brothers and sisters who are in D2B. Pray that God would use them to use the D2B materials to break through the strong strongholds in the hearts of the catechumens and lead them to know Jesus. - 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 that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength. - 為以色列禱告：以色列政府1月宣布推動司法改革計畫，引發以色列國內政治危機。3月底，以色列國防部長葛朗特在公開演說中呼籲，「為了以色列的安全，有必要暫停推動司法改革計畫。」隔日，以色列總理突然開除葛朗特，致使成千上萬的以國人民走上各城市的街頭，表達不滿與抗議。法案若通過有可能使傳講福音行為受到限制。為著以色列教會、彌賽亞信徒及宣教士禱告，求主保守其信仰及傳福音使命；也求主祝福以色列政府，制訂公正的法律，平衡宗教自由及防止公民詐騙行為發生。
Pray for Israel. In late March, Israel’s defense minister called in a public speech for “a moratorium on the judicial reform program for the sake of Israel’s security.” The next day, the Israeli prime minister abruptly fired the minister, causing tens of thousands of Israelis to take to the streets of cities to express their discontent and protest. The bill, if passed, could lead to restrictions on evangelism. Pray for the Church of Israel, Messianic believers and missionaries, that the Lord would preserve their faith and evangelistic mission, and that He would bless the Israeli government with just laws that balance religious freedom and prevent civil fraud. - 為美國禱告：田納西州首府納希維爾一所私立教會小學27日早上發生重大槍擊案，一位曾就讀該校的跨性別女子，備妥宣言持槍進入校園內連開數槍，造成3名9歲學童及3名60至61歲的教職員喪命(包括校長及一名牧師的9歲女兒)，槍手也被趕到的警察擊斃。願主施恩憐憫這間教會小學裡所有教職員、學生與家長，願祢的安慰與平安臨到當地所有人！求主醫治所有曾在槍擊現場的每一顆心靈，求神親自安慰臨到所有罹難者及犯案者家屬，成為他們的避難所，成為他們隨時的幫助。求主褓抱每一顆身處黑暗中的心靈，使他們能夠脫離仇恨與恐懼，得著從天上而來的愛與釋放！
Pray for USA. A mass shooting took place at a private church elementary school in Nashville, on the morning of the 27th. A transgender woman who had attended the school entered the campus with a gun and fired several shots, killing three 9-year-old students and Three faculty members aged between 60 and 61 were killed (including the principal and a pastor’s 9-year-old daughter), and the gunman was shot dead by police. May the Lord have mercy on all the staff, students and parents in this church primary school, and may your comfort and peace come to everyone in the area! May the Lord heal every soul of those who were at the scene of the shooting, and pray that God will personally comfort all the victims and the families of the perpetrators, and be their refuge and help at any time. May the Lord embrace every heart that is in darkness, so that they can get rid of hatred and fear, and receive love and release from heaven!
