二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為老挝禱告:位於東南亞的老挝是一個由共產黨統治的佛教國家。這意味著所有未經政府許可的教會都是非法的,只能秘密聚會。改信基督教是被視為背叛該國佛教的傳統,這往往遭來社會的壓力與暴力迫害。求神加添力量給那些被監禁的基督徒,使他們仍舊忠心傳福音,求神幫助老挝的基督徒在逼迫中堅忍。
Pray for Laos. Laos is a Buddhist nation run by a Communist state. This means that any church that does not have the government’s approval is considered as illegal and must conduct worship services in secret. Conversion to Christianity is seen as a betrayal of Buddhist tradition, so converts are subject to pressure and violence from the communities. Pray for imprisoned Christians to continue preaching the gospel and for believers throughout Laos to persevere in their faith.
- 為俄烏戰爭禱告:俄羅斯、烏克蘭戰爭已經進行超過七個月,除了造成雙方大量人員傷亡,烏克蘭的基礎建設被破壞,同時烏克蘭的生產更減少了45%,人民生活更加困難。請為這場戰爭可以快點結束禱告,讓重建進行,人民生活恢復。
Pray for the RU-UA War. The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for over seven months. This war has caused a great number of causalities on both sides. Also, this war has destroyed much of the infrastructure in Ukraine. The DGP of Ukraine dropped by as much as 45%. Pray that this war would finish soon, so that people’s life can be restored, and rebuild can be underway.
- 為幸福小組禱告:為幸福小組負責場地佈置、茶點準備、敬拜、破冰、見證、信息、小組分享的同工們禱告,求神賜給我們彼此相愛的心,在愛人、關心人的氛圍讓BEST感受到神的愛而願意接受福音。
Pray for Outreach Ministries: Pray that the seekers would come back for our outreach meeting. Pray also for those who host the outreach meetings.
- 為禱告事工禱告:求神興起弟兄姊妹熱情參與教會的各種禱告會:讀經禱告會、RPG、週三禱告會。求神藉著禱告改變祂的教會,熱心追求神,熱心服事神,熱心為主見證。
