New church motto for the next two years: Love & Legacy
Recently some churches and certain Christian gatherings have been infiltrated by a religious group called "Shincheonji (SCJ)" attempting to recruit members. They may also have participated in our church worship. This sect teaches its members to actively engage in 'harvesting' in other churches through strategic means (such as concealing identity or deceptive methods), inviting individuals to participate in their gatherings and Bible studies. If brothers and sisters observe suspicious behavior, please promptly contact the pastor, deacons, or the church committee. Let us be vigilant and watchful for the church, holding fast to the truth, and also pray for those who may be deceived, asking the Lord to guide them back.
Mission News
Remembering S & C, the meteorological experts predict that the "strong cold front" will last for several weeks and the temperature will drop to historically low, please God protect their health!
Pray for H & P's online missionary training courses, and also for P’s return to his hometown to visit his father who is unwell. May the Lord have mercy and heal!
Pray for the service of Reverend Janet Tam, who has recently been busy with church Christmas activities and participating in the Smile Lanka program. She is often travelling north and south. May God keep her healthy and safe!
Pray for H & Y's service, and pray for their busy homework, asking the Lord to give them wisdom to manage the balance between study and service!
Pray for missionary James Che and his wife and their service in the Tanzania church. May the Lord give them strength to shepherd the “little lambs”.
Prayer Items for the Week
Pray for Pastor Herman that he can be effective in ministering to the needs of our congregation. May his teachings and pastoral care bring spiritual growth and transformation to individuals and the church as a whole. Also pray for Pastor Herman's physical and emotional well-being. Grant him strength, good health, and resilience as he serves in ministry.
Pray for the leaders and decision-makers in Japan, including government officials and emergency response coordinators. Ask for God’s wisdom as they manage the aftermath of the earthquake and the Haneda Airport incident. Pray for the salvation of the Japanese people, particularly those directly affected by these tragic events. Ask God to use these circumstances to draw hearts towards him.
Pray that God will empower us to carry the essence of 'Love & Legacy' into every aspect of our lives – within our families, friendships, workplaces, and beyond. May this theme guide our thoughts, words, and deeds, bringing glory to His name.
