Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Renovation. Pray for the renovation of the church courtyard. The necessary funds of 80,000 can be raised as soon as possible and the project can be successfully completed, adding a place for the church to exercise and communicate.
  • Pray for Safety. Please pray for summer arrangements for church families. Children and teens attending summer school can be healthy and fulfilling. Families with travel plans can also travel safely and enhance family relationships.
  • 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 US. The U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 on June 24 to overturn the historic ruling of the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade (hereinafter referred to as the Roe case) that guaranteed the right to abortion, ending the nearly 50-year constitutional guarantee of abortion. All 50 states have free choice to ban abortion. Thirteen states in the U.S., mostly the more conservative and religious southern states, have passed so-called “trigger laws,” which banned abortion immediately after the overturn of Roe v. Wade. However, some states (including California) defend abortion rights. Some pro-abortion groups have brought violence on the streets. Please continue to pray to the justices of the Supreme Court so that they will be in awe, try cases according to God’s will, and restore the foundation of godliness in the United States. Pray that God’s love will calm the storm of anger and that your peace will come across America and turn hearts back to Jesus.
  • Pray for Sri Lanka. Pray for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka still has a child labor system, and about 1% of the child population suffers from labor exploitation. These children are unable to attend school, perform various jobs such as domestic work, cleaning, and are even sexually exploited in the tourism industry. Ask God to have mercy on the children of Sri Lanka and deliver them from injustice and abuse.
