Mission Information
Remember the August Mission Month in your prayer. Mission department is preparing for the occasion. May God make us understand the meaning of the Great Commission.
Please pray for Rev Janet Tam’s work visa application. Under the sending organisation’s rule, Janet cannot leave the country without visa, thus her trip to Hong Kong will be delayed.
We are praying for Muslims for 30 days during their fasting month. Pray that they will come to know Christ and that Lord will send more missionaries to share the gospel with them.
