Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for Mother’s Day Sunday. Pray for the joint Mother’s Day service on May 10 that every part of the service, including worship, the choir’s offering, and the preaching, will go smoothly. May mothers be honored, God’s name be lifted high, and may He receive the greatest glory.
  • Pray for Taiwanese and Mandarin Sunday School equipping courses in May. From May to July, Taiwanese and Mandarin congregation will offer courses including “New Testament Lessons – Ordinary Letters”, “Biblical Worldview”, “The Thessalonian Epistles”, “Living Out God’s Wisdom in Christ”, “Abundant Grace and Light”, and “Faith Q&A”. Pray that brothers and sisters would develop a deep hunger for God’s Word and grow in their faith, in their understanding of Scripture, and in their discipleship.
  • Pray for the Glocal Missions Department. On Mother’s Day, there will be a commissioning service for the summer short-term mission teams. This year, nearly 50 brothers and sisters will participate in short-term missions to Taiwan, Japan, and Kyrgyzstan, and they are currently in training. Pray that they would prepare their hearts well, learning to serve, to work in unity as a team, and to rely on God in faith throughout the mission. May these trips not only be a blessing to the local communities, but also become a meaningful process of discipleship and spiritual growth.
  • Pray for those in need (body, mind, and spirit). 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

  • Pray  for Madagascar.  Madagascar is an island nation with a population of about 32 million, suffering from shortages of electricity and water, as well as widespread poverty. May the Lord provide for all their needs, grant them grace, and turn their cries of distress into songs of praise.
