Prayer Requests

Pray for Our Church (EFCLA)

  • Prayer for the revival of our church. May brothers and sisters long to re-new our lives through prayer, be equipped by the truth, and walk together as disciples of the Lord.
  • Pray for the care ministry. Many newcomers attended church recently. We pray that brothers and sisters will take the initiative to care for them and invite them to join the fellowship. We pray those friends can feel the warmth of God’s loving family and prepare their heart to know and seek Jesus.
  • Prayer for Children’s ministry. Ages 4 to 14 years old is the golden window when children are most open to the gospel. We pray that children will come to church, be eager to learn God’s words, and experience God’s love.
  • Pray for Outreach Ministry.
    A) Happiness group is about to enter its third week. Pray that the Holy Spirit will fill every co-worker with love, faith and patience. Pray that the guests will experience God’s love and guidance and open their hearts to accept Jesus as Savior.
    B) Pray for the “D2B” ministry. Some brothers and sisters have already started their D2B lessons. May the Lord use D2B to lead people to Christ.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.
