Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for church leaders. Pray for pastors, elders, deacons, advisers, chairpersons, and group leaders.  Pray for adult and children’s Sunday school teachers.
  • Pray for Missionaries. Rick Johnson is from southern California. At age of eighteen, he explored Amazon and decided to serve the tribal people for the Lord. He has been a missionary to that area since 1979. While stationed in Tijuana Mexico Rick met Eunice Kau, a second generation Taiwanese American, whose father is Rev. Samuel Kau, one of the founders of EFC. They got married in 1997 and have been in Venezuela and the vicinity of Amazon since. Pray that the Lord would protect them daily from all diseases, including the COVID-19.  Pray also for uninterrupted medical supplies and that tribal people would respond to and follow Jesus.  
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.
  • Pray for Happiness Group Ministries. Pray that the Lord would raise up over ten Happiness groups among us.  Pray for the Happiness Group ministry teams.  Pray for the invitation of BEST’s.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for Yemen.  In 2020, there was a surge in the number of children suffering from malnutrition in Yemen.  One in five children under the age of five are estimated to be acutely malnourished.  Due to the nation’s political turmoil and economic decline, in addition to the disrupted humanitarian aid as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation is worsening.  Pray that the church’s helping hands will reach the children of Yemen and that they may see Christ in the aid they receive.
