Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Our Church. Pray that people would seek for God constantly. Pray that people would experience the renewal and transformation from the Holy Spirit as to devote themselves in prayer, receive training and equipping, and commit themselves in the Lord’s commission to His disciples.
  • Pray for Elders and Deacons. Pray that the Lord would give gifts of worship, evangelism, teaching, encouraging people, comforting people, caring people, operation, and management to our leaders. Pray that they would serve starting from prayer.  They would further develop their gifts, experience life transformation, and receive the anointing of joy in their ministries.
  • 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 Earthquake. The strong earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria has caused over twenty-four thousand people dead.  Pray that the Lord would move different countries in the world to supply these two countries food and medicines that they need most now.  Pray that the Lord would our church to donate to the Habibi ministries which work in the Kurdish region in northern Iraq near Syria.
  • Pray for Djibouti.  Djibouti is a small East Africa country by the Red Sea. It lacks natural resources, but its economy is based on its strategic location on the Red Sea. Djibouti’s physical condition also make missions work a challenge, and the small numbers of believers often face spiritual oppression from their Muslim neighbors.  Pray that God would encourage believers and mission workers in Djibouti to persevere amid extremely difficult circumstance.
