Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for wisdom, strength, strategy, talent, and discernment to be granted to pastors and ministry workers. We ask that Rev. Wang continues to receive visions for prayer. We rebuke the attacks of witchcraft and the oppression of dark powers from them. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we break all curses of the enemy upon pastors, and may the precious blood of Jesus cover them abundantly. We also declare in the name of Jesus Christ that every weapon formed against pastors shall not prosper, and all attacks of idle words, temptations of lust, money, and power shall depart from them.
  • Pray for New Believers. Since the happiness group started this year, there are some brothers and sisters have been baptized. Pray that the Lord would strengthen their faith, and move them to be equipped for further growth in their faith, and become ready for His witness..
  • Prayer for Mother’s Day Joint Worship. This year’s Mother’s Day joint worship will be held on May 12th. Please pray for all the planning, details, worship process, and speakers for the Mother’s Day joint worship. May God also watch over and protect every mother, whether young, elderly, or sisters who are about to become mothers, may they all experience God’s grace.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for Peace in the Middle East. In the name of Jesus, bless the relationships between Israel and the various countries in the Middle East. As anti-Semitic sentiments rise in various places, we pray for God to dispel the lies within them. May Christians worldwide stand in God’s will, praying for Jesus’ love and peace to prevail! Especially, we pray for the protection of Israel, Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, and other nations. May God cease the wars, protect and bless the innocent people, and provide them with opportunities to know the true God and receive salvation!
