Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Revival Prayer. Pray that the Lord would move people to sign up for the SoCal Prayer Conference scheduled on May 19-20. Pray that the Lord would use this conference to promote people to devote themselves to prayer, and experience God’s power and revival through prayers.
  • Pray for Global 6K. Pray that the Lord would move people to sign up for the Global 6K Running for Clean Water campaign schedule on May 20. Pray that through this campaign, people in Africa would have clean and ready water, so that they would feel the love from God, which would pave the way for the local church to share the Good News brining true blessings to people.
  • Pray for New Believers. There were seven people baptized on Easter Sun-day, and a few are receiving their baptism by the end of April. Pray that the Lord would strengthen their faith, and move them to be equipped for fur-ther growth in their faith, and become ready for His witness.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and re-store their heath and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for Singapore. Singapore boasts one of the most successful economics in the Asia-Pacific region. A great part of this is thanks to its busy ports, which make it one of the biggest commercial centers in the world. It is said that Singaporeans are all after the five C’s: career, cash, car, club, and condo. Still amid this materialism, the church in Singapore is growing among evangelical and charismatic congregations. As many of the educated population are coming to Christ, they are influencing society in ways that bring blessings far greater than material wealth. Pray for the church to demonstrate in their actions what true blessing looks like. Praise God for the good influence that believers have on Singaporean society.
