Mission News and Prayer Items
S & C – The school summer break is their busiest time, serving students and parents. Please pray for their physical, mental, and spiritual strength!
Remember H & P’s ministries: the mission home is about to start classes, a special meeting is arranged for parents in the community tutoring program, and they will be hosting a short-term mission team in mid-August. Pray for the Lord to strengthen them!
Reverend Janet Tam has returned to Hong Kong for reporting duties until October and has been invited to share her burdens at more than ten churches. Pray for the Lord to use her!
During this summer break, H & Y are visiting new believers in nearby cities to strengthen them. Additionally, their long-unseen son unexpectedly visited, and they had a wonderful time together. Thank God!
Missionary James Che and his wife first went to establish a church in Ethiopia for a period and then returned to serve local believers in Tanzania. Pray for the Lord to keep them safe and bless their steps!
Nicholas Yao from the English congregation has started a campus evangelism outreach this term. Pray for the Lord to use him and for the spirit of revival to come upon the campus, so the gospel may be widely spread!
Prayer Items
Ask God to help our church see the importance of sharing the Gospel with people around the world who haven’t heard it yet. Pray that He gives us a clear purpose and passion for this mission.
Pray that our church and others around the world work together to reach those who don’t know Jesus. Ask God to show us how we can all contribute to this shared goal.
Pray that each of us in the church would be willing to take action—whether by learning new skills, engaging with different cultures, or simply stepping out in faith—to help spread the Good News.
