Mission News
This year, a total of $17,040.00 has been received for the Overseas Mission (M4) Faith Pledge, while the budget is set at $30,700.00. Faith Pledge is an exercise in recognising that even though we may not have enough at the moment, we practise our faith and rely on God to provide in His time. It is also a response to God's abundant blessings. We pray that the Lord helps us to give faithfully, remembering the needs of the missionaries, and we hope they may receive this gift of encouragement before the celebration of Christ's birth.
Please pray for the Mission Department as they plan and budget for the coming year. May the Lord use these efforts!
Remember S & C and H & Y, as the weather in their region has entered the cold winter season. Pray for God's protection over their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and that He blesses the work of their hands.
Remember H & P, Pastor Janet Tam, James Che, and Nicholas Yao in their ministries. May those they serve be nurtured and blessed, and may more unreached people be led to the Lord. We ask for God’s guidance and use of their service!
Prayer Items
For deep, Christ-centred relationships: Pray that we would build meaningful connections with others, offering support and encouragement as we walk together in faith.
For reliance on God’s presence and grace: Ask God to help us remain confident in His presence, strength, and protection, especially during times of hardship.
For faithfulness in life and ministry: Pray that we, like Paul, would live faithfully to the end, trusting in God’s grace to sustain us and using our lives to glorify Him.
