Prayer Requests
Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)
- Pray for Winter Retreat. Pastor Jacky is the coordinator of this year’s Winter Retreat. Pray that the Lord would strengthen him and raise up people to help him finish the preparation of this retreat. Pray that we have enough fund to cover to cost of transportation.
- Pray for Outreach Ministries: Pray for those who have made their decision for Christ would receive their baptism. Please pray that our seekers would return for more meetings. Pray also for the outreach teams.
- Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
Pray for the world
- Pray for Hausa People. The Maouri Hausa people of the Maouri Valley in Niger are farmers and traders who have stayed loyal to their African religion and resisted conversion to Islam. This also means that they have been resistant to Christianity, even more so because they associate it with colonialism. Miraculously, some Maouri Hausa have become believers in Jesus. Pray that God would work powerfully in the few believers, that they would draw the Maouri Hausa to put their faith in the Lord.
- Pray for Brunei. In Brunei, while Christians do not face outright violence, converts from Islam can be punished under law and face great pressure from their communities to return to the Muslim faith. Non-traditional Christian communities cannot be registered as churches and are therefore treated as secular organizations that are subject to financial and operational oversight from the government. Pray that Christians in Brunei would resist the temptation to convert back to Islam and that church would be free to worship without restriction.
