Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for the pastoral team of EfcLA/HarvestLA.  Pray that they may have wisdom, love and patience from above, so that they can continue to serve the church according to God’s will. Pray for His blood to cover them up so that they can resist the various attacks from the devil, and support their family’s needs, so that they can focus on ministries. Pray that the Lord will give them the vision from heaven, in this chaotic and dark age, that all the co-workers and brothers and sisters are united, putting their efforts to spread the gospel.
  • Pray for Happiness Group.  Pray that the Holy Spirit would work in the hearts of the ten plus BESTs, so that the BESTs would open their hearts to accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
  • Pray for Summer Bible School VBS in June.  Pray for our planning and promotion of VBS from 6/13-17.  Pray that the Lord will attract more children to sign up for VBS, and help children establish correct beliefs through VBS activities. Pray that the Lord will prepare enough co-workers and all the resources needed to make the preparation work smoothly.
  • Pray for the Sick.  Pray for Pastor Benson Wang, and those who are sick or infected. Pray that the Lord would heal them and restore their health.  

Pray for the world

  • Pray that the Lord will bind the power of darkness.  May Lord’s mercy and protection continue, so that the foundation of Christian faith in the United States will remain. We believe that it is time to take back the land in the spiritual realm through prayer and revival. Pray that the Lord will shake the church, no longer submit to and compromise with the world, have beautiful testimony in life, family, and marriage, bravely take up the authority bestowed by God, and break the dark powers that rule the United States.
