Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for the Student Ministries. Pray for the advisers of Mandarin and English student ministries. Pray that God would use them to help the stu-dents establish a close relationship with the Lord, and disciple them to learn to serve the Lord to become good soldiers of the Lord.
  • Pray for Happiness Groups. Pray that the Lord would give the Happiness Group teams strength and wisdom to lead people to Him. Pray that the Holy Spirit would open the hearts of BESTs as to accept Jesus Christ.
  • 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 Church in the US. Pray that the Church in the US would find a new zeal and commitment to the mission and purpose of Jesus Christ. Al-so, pray that there is unity with and among churches that reveal God’s love to the world. Finally, pray that that God’s people would look and act dif-ferently from the world.
  • Pray for the Bedouin. Most of the 1.2 million Bedouin in the Arabian and Negev desert regions are Sunni Muslims. They lead a nomadic life and marry within their own people. That are devoted to Islamic law and do not welcome religious conversions. This makes it hard to reach them with the gospel as those who profess their faith in Jesus could be put to death. Pray that God will open their eyes to see Jesus as Christ and serve Him.
