Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for VBS and Summer Short Term Mission Trip. Please pray for the VBS to be held from 6/12-16. Pray that God will lead parents and children to know God through the VBS program. In addition, pray for the Short Term Mission team that will go to Kyrgyzstan 6/22, Taichung, Taiwan7/1, and El Cajon from 7/31-8/4. May Lord give them faith and strength, so that they can be bold to share the gospel and serve people in different cultural; may the team have a united heart to serve the Lord.
  • Pray for Disciple Class. The church will offer a Basic Doctrine course for new believers in late May.  Please pray for the teachers and pray that the ten-plus new believers would faithfully join this class in order to lay a good foundation for their faith.
  • Pray for the sick. Pray that Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for Bhutan. Bhutan is a country where the Gospel is difficult to spread. The government has restricted non-Buddhist activities, buildings and celebrations. Although the constitution guarantees the freedom of religion for the people of Bhutan, once they convert to Christianity, they lose citizenship and many rights. We ask the Lord to protect the small number of local Christians and open the door of the Gospel in Bhutan.
