Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Equipping Ministries. Pray for our children’s and adult Sunday school teachers. Pray also for discipline and baptismal classes’ teachers. Pray that the Lord would use them to build up the brothers and sister in truth, and to prepare them ready to witness for Him and glorify Him.
  • Prayer for the Church Missions Conference on 3/21.  We pray for the Church Missions Conference on March 21. May the Lord move the hearts of our brothers and sisters to invite and encourage one another to participate, and to be renewed in the vision for missions. We also lift up the speakers who will be sharing—grant them wisdom and the leading of the Holy Spirit, that their messages may inspire a response to God’s calling. We pray as well for this year’s short-term mission plans and training, asking the Lord to guide and prepare a unified team to live out Christ’s love and bless the nations.
  • Prayer for the Sick. Please pray for the brothers and sisters you know who are in poor health. Ask God to heal them and restore their physical health.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Prayers for Global Unrest.
    1) We pray for the unrest in Iran. May the Iranian people, living amid violence and instability, be granted peace and protection. We ask especially for Iranian Christians during this turbulent time—that they may have courage, perseverance, and steadfast faith. May unjust arrests end, and whether newly detained or already imprisoned, may innocent prisoners experience Your peace even in confinement.
    2) We pray for the rising tensions across the Taiwan Strait. We ask God to intervene and de-escalate any intentions toward military action or conflict. May the leaders of China, the United States, and Taiwan communicate with calmness, humility, and gentleness, and not act out of anger or impulse in ways that could lead to war.
