二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1.為拉脫維亞禱告：拉脫維亞是歐盟的一個貧窮成員國。蘇聯解體國境開放後就有許多拉脫維亞人移民到其他國家，這更加劇該國的貧窮。貧窮加上高酗酒與自殺率，特別是男性，更增加該國的不穩定性。為拉脫維亞禱告，使該國在基督裡重生，從福音中重新獲得盼望。
Pray for Latvia. Latvia is considered as a poor member of the European Union. When the Soviet Union collapsed and Latvia’s border opened, many people emigrated out of the country, further increasing Latvia’s poverty rate. This instability has caused social problems such as rampant alcoholism and high suicide rates, especially among men. Pray that the Latvian people who have lost hope for the future will be reborn through Christ and find true hope in the gospel.

2.為疫情禱告：美國疫苗施打率尚未達到群體免疫的程度，加上Delta變種病毒的傳染力又特別強，求神感動尚未接受疫苗的人，接種疫苗，好使疫情得以獲得控制。
Pray for COVID. The vaccination rate of the US population has not yet reached the level of group immunity. Facing the very contagious Delta variant, pray the Lord would move those who have not been vaccinated soon to receive their vaccination to keep the COVID pandemic under control.

3.為裝備事工禱告：為八月台華聯合主日學的老師，孟蘇倫牧師、李偉強牧師、鄭博仁醫師禱告。請為英文學生主日學的老師禱告。
Pray for Equipping Ministries. Pray for the teachers of August Joint Sunday school, Pastor Su-Luan Meng, Pastor Wei-Jiang Lee and Dr. Bo-Ren Zheng. Also, pray for the teachers of Student Sunday school.

4.為兒童老師招募禱告：九月起，教會在星期五、六晚間將提供兒童照顧，還需要一位老師，請為教會能順利在九月前召募到合適的老師禱告。
Pray for Recruitment. We still need one more children’s teacher for Friday and Saturday nights’ children’s program. Pray that we may successfully recruit this teacher by September.

5.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。
