Prayer Requests
PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)
- Pray for Our Church. We are an evangelical church committed to sharing the gospel with those who have not yet received Christ. Pray that we would grow stronger together and be sent out together. May our congregation develop a deeper hunger for God’s Word, growing in spiritual maturity, wisdom, and boldness in witness. Pray that we would not simply attend services, but be transformed into disciples who live and proclaim the gospel with power.
- Prayer for the Sick. Pray for those who are experiencing illness or physical weakness. Ask the Lord to heal, sustain, and comfort them.
PRAY FOR THE WORLD
- Pray for the Global Church. In recent years, there has been increasing awareness of fallen leaders and the exposure of actions that have shocked and grieved the Body of Christ. Pray for God’s refining work within His church. May times of exposure lead not to humiliation, but to humility, re-pentance, and restoration. Ask the Lord to purify His bride, and to shake everything that can be shaken so that His unshakable kingdom may remain.
- Pray for New Delhi India. New Delhi stands within one of the world’s oldest civilizations and is home to extraordinary diversity, representing thousands of people groups and languages. Hinduism is widely regarded as a unifying cultural force, while Christianity is often viewed as a challenge to tradition. Legal restrictions and persecution toward Christian converts make evangelism difficult. Yet believers continue to serve faithfully through practical ministries such as healthcare and education. Pray that local Christians would be strengthened and encouraged in their calling. Pray that the hearts of their neighbors would be softened, and that Christ’s love would be seen clearly through His people. Praise God for the faithful work of His church, even as a persecuted minority.
