PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

Pray for Taiwan West Coast STM Team: Pray for the team members who are going to the West Coast of Taiwan on 07/22-07/29. Pray that they would adapt to Taiwan’s weather and food, that they would love one another, share the gospel in one accord, and that God would stir the hearts of the students in Taiwan to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
Pray for our older brothers and sisters: We have many older brothers and sisters in our church. May God provide for the needs of our older brothers and sisters, some of whom are sick, bedridden and need help, live alone, and some who have lost their peace and joy. Pray that God watch over them and that they will not lose faith in the midst of loneliness and sickness.
Pray for New Comers: Pray for those who have come to our church recently. Some are already Christians looking for a suitable church, and some are unbelievers referred by our brothers and sisters. Pray for their willingness to seek God’s word and make church their home. Pray also that fellowship groups they join would help them grow in their Christian life.
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 Cambodia: In the past, the people of Cambodia have suffered violent attacks from both inside and outside the country, which has left them wary and distrustful. Under the Khmer Rouge, around two million Cambodians dies, and one of the major repercussions of this is that the population is disproportionately young and uneducated. Although Buddhism is dominant, Christians have been able to worship God openly in Cambodia since 1990. As more people turn to Christ, there is a growing need for strong leaders in the Cambodian church.
