二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

1.為吉布地禱告：位於東非的吉布地勢非洲面積最小的國家之一，但是近年來因為該國擁有戰略位置優越的港口國民年生產毛額（GDP）穩定增加。該國人口94%都是穆斯林，因此該國極少數的基督徒在聚會與傳福音上都相當不容易。求主給吉布地的基督徒力量在逼迫中在信心與主的話語上站立得穩。
Pray for Djibouti. Djibouti, one of the smallest nations in Africa, has experienced steady growth in its gross domestic product (DGP) thanks to its strategically located ports. It is a predominantly Muslim nation, with 94 percent of the population adhering to Islam. This makes it hard for the few Christians in Djibouti to congregate or evangelize. Pray for God to empower His people to stand firm in their faith and on the Word amidst persecution.

2.為兒童堂禱告：教會兒童堂實體聚會於9 月12日重開，求神記念執事、褓姆、助手、主日學老師、講員的辛勞並加添他們力量。
Pray for Children’s Congregation. The children’s onsite service was reopened on September 12. Pray that the Lord would remember the hard work of the deacons, nannies, aids, teachers, and speakers, and strengthen them.

3.為裝修工程禱告：為大禮拜堂與英文堂的洗手間重新裝修工程能順利於十月底完成禱告；求神供應尚需要的五萬餘元工程款項。
Pray for the Renovation Project. Pray that the renovation of restrooms in the Main Sanctuary and Worship Hall would be finished by the end of October, and pray that the Lord would provide the fifty plus thousand dollars still needed for the renovation project.

4.為幸福小組禱告：目前已經有十到十一組幸福小組陸續開始，求主感動更多團契小組派出幸福小組外展傳福音。
Pray for Happiness Groups. There are ten to eleven Happiness groups formed so far. Pray that there would be more Happiness groups forms for reaching out to the communities.
