Mission News
S & C – Please pray urgently for S's visa application. It has been over six weeks and is still pending. May the Lord watch over His servant so that they can continue to be used by Him in the local area!
H & P – Remember the students and parents from the community Chinese-English classes, as well as the youth group members. Many of them have not yet come to know the Lord. May the Lord help these students, parents, and youth to receive Christ's love!
Pray for the fundraising for Pastor Tam's next two years of ministry. May the Lord provide for their needs!
Give thanks for the ministry of H & Y! After years of hard work by missionaries, two friends have recently come to faith. Pray that the Lord will guard and strengthen their faith. Also, three friends who had previously rejected the gift of a Bible have now willingly accepted it and agreed to read it. Praise the Lord!
After James Che and his wife finished shepherding two churches in Tanzania and Ethiopia, they visited relatives in Hong Kong and Shanghai and have now safely returned to New Zealand. Pray that the Lord grants them rest after their busy travels and protects their health!
Nicholas Yao – During the mid-term break, Nicholas organized a boys' retreat with over 50 participants, including new believers, long-time Christians, and non-believers. They studied the Bible together, and we pray that all the students are built up in their faith. May the Lord use Nicholas’s ministry on the university campus to support those who are spiritually weak, help those in difficulty, and lead more unreached people to Christ.
Prayer Items
Perseverance in Faith: Pray that we would stand firm in our faith during challenging times, avoiding the influences of those who lead us away from God’s truth and seeking strength in Christ to persevere.
Guidance from Scripture: Ask God to help us hold tightly to the teachings of the Bible, relying on the wisdom of faithful teachers and the Word of God to navigate difficult situations and remain rooted in truth.
Discernment and Wisdom: Pray for discernment to recognise harmful influences and wisdom to distance ourselves from them, so that we can live lives that honour God and reflect His love.
