Pray that our hearts will be overflow with gratitude as we approach the 30th anniversary of our church. Pray that we will be humbled by God's faithfulness throughout the years, as God has guided and sustained us through every season.
May God give Nic the wisdom, strength, and courage to effectively minister to students, guiding them in their journey of faith and empowering them to live lives that honour God. Pray for his sharing of his vision to the Cantonese and Mandarin Congregation in the coming weeks.
Pray that God will equip Sunny with the necessary resources, both spiritually and practically, to carry out his mission trip with excellence and effectiveness. May God surround them with peace and assurance, knowing that God is with him every step of the way.
Remember Kinson, Layee, and baby Hailey, and Vincent, Lina, and baby Bethany in our prayers. Pray that God will surround them with protection and grace as they embark on this journey of parenthood.
