一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 路加福音15:4 Luke, 馬太福音 9:35-38 Matthew

4耶穌就用比喻說:「你們中間誰有一百隻羊失去一隻,不把這九十九隻撇在曠野,去找那失去的羊,直到找著呢?

4 Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?

35耶穌走遍各城各鄉,在會堂裡教訓人,宣講天國的福音,又醫治各樣的病症。 36 他看見許多的人,就憐憫他們,因為他們困苦流離,如同羊沒有牧人一般。 37 於是對門徒說:「要收的莊稼多,做工的人少。所以,你們當求莊稼的主打發工人出去收他的莊稼。」

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

  1. 為厄立垂亞禱告:在東非的厄立垂亞雖然人口超過一半是基督徒,但是除非參加政府所批准的宗派以及政府所認可的教會,基督徒仍會遭到逼迫,像是電話被監聽,家庭教會被抄,許多基督徒被囚禁在不人道的環境下的情形屢見不鮮。即便如此,當地的信徒仍舊繼續傳福音。請為當地的基督徒在信心上堅定禱告,求神保護祂自己的百姓。
    Pray for Eritrea.   Although about half of Eritrea’s population is considered Christian, those who are not from a state approved denomination face persecution from government and from state-approved churches.  Phone calls are monitored, house churches are raided, and many Christians are held prisons under inhumane conditions.  Despite such circumstances, believers continue sharing the gospel.  Pray for them to be steadfast in their faith and for God’s providence over them.
  2. 為烏克蘭難民禱告:已經有超過一百萬烏克蘭民眾進入鄰近歐洲國家躲避戰火,請為這些難民的安全,糧食供應、居住房屋禱告,請為世界各國特別是歐洲國家起來幫助烏克蘭難民禱告。
