Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Recruitment: Pastors and elders are recruiting the candidates of elders and deacons for the next year.  Pray that the recruitment would be smooth, so that the church would have adequate leaders to carry on different ministries in next year.
  • Pray for Happiness Groups: Our Fall Happiness Group campaign is only a month away.  Pray that the Lord would move our brothers and sisters to have a burden in evangelism, and form different happiness groups to reach out to their family, friends, or neighbors.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.  Pray also for the speedy recovery of Elder Hank Lin.

Pray for the world

  • Pray for Myanmar. Being a Christian in one of Myanmar’s Buddhist, Muslim or tribal communities can result in being denied access to basic resources like water, this happens often. And as Christians make up only eight percent of the population. The 2021 military coup has increased the dangers for Christians since most of the fighting happens in predominantly Christian states.  Pray for the church in Myanmar to be salt and light in their nation and for God to strengthen their faith.
  • Pray for Extreme Weather. The global warming has caused flood and drought in different regions in the world.  As a result, more and more people are suffering from hunger and poverty.  Pray that the Lord would move His church to reach out more to the poor to ease them from their physical hunger and also ease their spiritual hunger with the gospel.
