Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Church Reopen. Pray for our online registration system would function flawlessly.  Pray for our onsite ministry teams, including ushers and worship leaders.
  • Pray for Happiness Group Ministries. Pray that the HG teams can create a welcoming atmosphere online to make the BESTs return.  Pray for the invitation of new BESTs.
  • Pray for the Sick.  Pray for those who are sick. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for the US. Pray that the COVID-19 pandemic would further subside after vaccination. Pray that the Anti-Asian sentiment would die down.
  • Pray for Laos. Christians in Laos have faced discrimination and persecution for many years. Christian customs or activities are often attacked as they are considered to violate the traditional customs of the Laos cultures, which “creates unrest and divides the community solidarity.” Last year, four Lao Christians were arrested and detained for planning a Christian funeral.  Pray that the believers in Laos may persevere and grow in their faith, boldly sharing the gospel amidst these difficulties.
