  2. Let us continue to remember the 30-day prayer campaign for the Muslim world, asking God to have mercy on this community and save them.

  3. Also, please remember the following missionaries in your prayers:

    a. Pastor Janet Tam is leading our short-term mission team to serve and pray in the southern part of Sri Lanka this week. Let's pray for strength and guidance for them.

    b. H & Y have started serving on campus. Let's pray that the Lord prepares hearts and strengthens them as they serve, and also that He helps them to pray for those affected by the recent earthquake.


Prayer Items for the Week

  1. The Deacon Nominee letters have been sent out to the deacon nominees. Pray for the nominees, may they seek God’s will and respond to serve according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

  2. Pray for the gospel needs of the North Shore as more Cantonese-speaking people move there. The mission fields are vast, let's seek God's guidance together and help us see what is needed.

  3. Pray for everyone to strive to practice the theme of the year,: Love as He Loved • Love with His Love.
