Prayer Items
Senior Pastor Appointment – Pray for Pastor E Ting Wong as he steps into the role of Senior Pastor. Ask God to grant him wisdom, strength, and discernment as he leads the church. Pray also for unity among pastors, deacons, and congregation members as they serve together.
May the Lord comfort and heal the victims of wars and natural disasters around the world. We also pray that in these last days, as the warning bells sound, the Lord would raise up local churches to care for their communities and widely proclaim the gospel.
