Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Personal Spiritual Revival. Pray that each one of us would experience a personal spiritual revival. Everyone would hear God’s voice, and encounter with the true and living God, so that everyone would become passionate again in worshiping God, serving God, obeying God, and preaching the gospel.
  • Pray for Nomination of Deacons and Elders. Elders of different departments are searching for next year’s deacons. Pray that they can find enough deacons for their ministries, and God would convince those who are invited by elders. Pray that the Lord would raise more deacons in our church to conduct different ministries for further development of our church.
  • Pray for Children Congregation. Pray for the registration of Children Sunday School would be smooth, and there are more children sign-ups. Pray that there will be a new generation of children Sunday School teachers devoting in teaching the children to follow Jesus, obey Jesus, and serve Jesus.
  • Pray for the Sick. Please pray for Danielle’s recovery after brain surgery. Pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health, and ask God to heal them and restore them to good health.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for the global economic situation. The new tariff policies announced by the U.S. President Donald​ Trump have caused many impacts, leading to instability in countries around the world. Pray that the​ Lord will continue to reveal His justice and righteousness, and put an end to unjust hatred and retaliatory​ actions. May the Lord’s love and peace fill every decision made by the U.S. President, so that nations​ may communicate with​ mutual respect, promote global economic growth and cooperation, and eliminate
    all conflicts.
