Prayer Requests
Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)
- Pray for the church. Pray that the Lord to use our Church, so that brothers and sisters are willing to obey the Lord’s great commission and focus on His commands, so we can once again experience God’s power this year, and we will be reversed and restored by the Holy Spirit, and restored the purpose when God set up the church. We also pray that the renewed fire of the Holy Spirit falls on our church again. In this dark age, we will burn away all the things that are not pleasing to God in the church, leaving only the things that cannot be destroyed. Just like the prophet Elijah at the time, he prayed to God, ” Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
- Pray for the next happiness group. Pray that the Lord will raise up more brothers and sisters who are willing to return to the command of Jesus’ Great Commission and devote themselves to the mission of evangelism. We also pray that the Lord to prepare co-workers and BEST, so that our Church will experience the blessing of “send out to fish for people”.
- 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 Afghanistan. Please pray for a small group of believers in Afghanistan. They are walking on thin ice and don’t know who to trust. Pray that they will find strength, wisdom and supernatural peace in God’s promises. Expect a new wave of refugees from Afghanistan into the Middle East and other parts of the world. Pray that God will protect and provide for them on their journey. Let’s also pray that Afghanistan will not become a safe haven for extremists.
