Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Fellowship Ministries.  Pray for Elder Alfred Liu, Deacon Jenny Lo, Deacon Kevin Chang, and the advisers and group leaders of fellowships and small groups.  Pray that the Lord would use them to lead our brothers and sisters to grow in faith, to share their faith with the Lost, to conduct fellowship life, and to help people in need.
  • Pray for Happiness Group.  We have seven Happiness Groups this season.  The BESTs will join us from Apr 3 for eight weeks.  Pray for the salvation of the BESTs.  Pray for the Happiness Groups teams
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray for those who are sick or infected. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health. 

Pray for the world

  • Pray for Ukraine.  There have been more 3.5 millions of Ukrainians fled their country for life.  Over 2 million of them entered Poland.  The adjacent countries of Ukraine, such as Moldova and Slovakia, are facing short of supplies and financial burdens.  Also, the Russian army is launching an undistinguishing attack against the Ukrainians.  We expect that the death toll would be soon mounting.  Pray that the Lord has mercy on Ukraine, would provide needs for the refugees, and would end the war soon..
  • Pray for North Korea.  North Korea has ranked first place in persecuting Christians for the twentieth year in a row.  In fact, believers have to keep their faith so well-hidden that is hard to know their exact number.  It is estimated that there are four hundred thousand Christians, with around seventy thousand of them incarcerated in hard labor camps and prisons.  Pray for God to strengthen them and provide for their needs, and for the gospel to continue spreading in North Korea.
