Mission News

  1. Please remember S & C and their life in the mission field as the weather gradually turns colder. Pray that the Lord would protect their family. Also, remember their eldest daughter in her life and studies in New Zealand.

  2. Pray for H & P's eldest daughter's short-term mission trip this month. May the Lord guide and ensure everything goes smoothly and safely.

  3. Lift up Pastor Janet Tam in prayer, asking the Lord to guard and guide the short-term mission team visiting and serving in Sri Lanka at the end of November, organized by China Evangelistic Mission.

  4. Remember the ministry of H & Y. As government policies begin to impose restrictions on missionaries and visa renewals, pray that the Lord would remember those in positions of authority and allow the missionary work to continue.

  5. Remember Pastor James Che and his wife, in their pioneering work in Ethiopia. Pray for the Lord's protection over their health.


Prayer Items for the Week

  1. Pray that the Lord would help brothers and sisters to draw closer to Him during the Advent season, remembering the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  2. Let us come together in prayer, seeking the grace of God to bring lasting peace to the Israel-Gaza conflict. May the Lord's hand guide and inspire all parties involved towards a peaceful and just resolution, where the rights and well-being of all people in the region are respected, and suffering comes to an end.
