Prayer Requests
PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)
- Pray for Newcomers. Pray for those who come to our church recently, some are already Christians looking for a suitable church, and some are unbelievers. Pray for them to be willing to seek God’s word and like to stay and make church their home. Pray also that they would join any groups besides Sunday service for a normal Christian life.
- 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 those who suffering in the World. Because wars, violence, and natural disasters have occurred one after another around the globe, the number of displaced people within countries has reached the highest level in recorded history. Those who have lost their homes and are forced to migrate to other areas for survival are unable to receive protection from their governments. We pray that the Lord will help those who suffer due to war and calamity, that they may hear the Gospel, receive provision, and find peace and joy through Him.
