Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Happiness Groups: Starting from the end of September, we have started to have different Happiness Groups outreach activities. May the Holy Spirit continue to work in the heart of every Best, feel the care and love in the group, and continue to join the Happiness Group, with a burn-ing heart, accept Jesus as their savior, and receive the benefits of the gos-pel.
  • Pray for the Eagle Project: On November 8-9, we invited Pastor Li Xiechong from Taipei 101 Church to conduct the second training of the Eagle Project at the church. All churches in Los Angeles will participate. Pray that God will equip more prayer warriors to pray for families, churches, countries, and the world.
  • Pray for the elders and deacons team: Pray for the newly elected elders and deacons at the 10/20 Congregational meeting. Pray that God will give our executive team wisdom and ability to develop various ministries in the church, lead brothers and sisters to prosper the house of God, so that more brothers and sisters will be willing to serve, and that many friends who seek the gospel will be blessed by the church.
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their heath and strength.  

PRAY FOR THE WORLD 

  • Pray for Mexico: Christians in the eastern Mexican state of Hidalgo are facing religious persecution. Most of the local residents are Catholics. They prohibit Christians from approaching cemeteries, using wells, etc. They also prohibit their children from going to school, deprive Christians of their basic rights to life, and even violently attack them to force them to leave their homes. Ask God to have mercy, save the local Christians, and give them firm faith and a peaceful life.
