二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1. 為捷克祈禱:捷克共和國擺脫共產黨統治獲得自由僅幾十年,捷克擁有豐富的歷史遺跡和工業化城市。 1989 年共產黨政府垮台帶來了宗教自由;然而,近一半的人口認為自己是無神論者,還有許多人對於上帝是否存在仍不確定自己的看法。 祈求聖靈加強當地信徒的見證,並軟化他們的鄰居對福音的心。 讚美上帝能有信仰自由,這為傳播福音提供了許多機會。
Pray for Czech Republic. Having only experienced freedom from communist for a few decades, the Czech Republic is rich with historical sites and industrialized cities. The fall of communism in 1989 brought freedom of religion; however, nearly, half of the population identity as atheist, while many remain undecided about what they believe regarding God’s existence. Pray for the Holy Spirit to strengthen the witness of local believers and soften the hearts of their neighbors toward the gospel. Praise God for freedom of religion, which opens many opportunities for sharing the gospel.
2. 為美國教會復興禱告:求神復興美國教會,在世俗化的環境中持續忠心傳講神的話語,造就信徒;委身在禱告中;關心有需要的人讓他們從中領受神的愛,向人傳福音使這一代失喪的靈魂歸向神。
Pray for Revival of Church in the US.
