Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for the ministry of Chinese students.  Starting in November, Citrus College’s evangelistic outreach ministry invites students to dinner, introduces faith through watching Alpha courses, and leads people to the Lord. Please pray for the co-workers and God bless this new ministry.
  • Pray for Outreach Ministries.  Pray that the seekers would come back for our outreach meeting.  Pray also for those who host the outreach meetings.
  • 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 several recent accidents.  A Halloween celebration in Itaewon, Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea caused a stampede on the evening of the 29th, killing 154 people and injuring 149 others. A suspension bridge in Mobi town, ancient Tharati province in western India suddenly broke on the evening of October 30, killing 141 people so far. Pray God for comfort for the suffering families; the government will investigate and deal with the aftermath efficiently.
  • Pray for Mongolia.  Among Mongolia’s approximately 3.22 million people, 23 ethnic groups are unreached people, accounting for about 98% of the total population. However, the country is suffered with alcohol and drug addiction, sex trafficking, urban homelessness, broken families and orphans problems. Pray for God to spread the gospel of Christ to ethnic minorities such as the Khalkha Mongolians and the Khashaqs, and to bestow the grace of recovery in the whole land of Mongolia.
