Prayer Points 16 May 2021
Our Church
Home Missions – With the Heightened Alert COVID-19 safety restrictions in
place, all Home Missions activities onsite (such as English as a Second Language classes and Friendship Meal) have been suspended. Pray that we will seek opportunities to serve the needy and vulnerable during this time.
AG Ministry – Pray for our AGs as they go online to continue growing in God’s Word together. Especially in times where it is difficult to meet one another, pray that each person will find comfort and encouragement in the Body of Christ.
Our People
Catechism class – Thank God for the successful completion of this round with 30+ catechumens. Due to the new restrictions, the reception of members will be postponed to a later date. Pray that each new member finds an AG to join, to ensure their continued spiritual growth.
Esperance Yip – Pray for Ps Alby’s daughter who has been on MC for the last three weeks. Pray that the medication prescribed will ease her discomfort and will allow her to get her needed rest. Pray that she will regain her health and strength this week as her exams start this Friday. Pray most of all that she will lean her trust in God and not be anxious. Pray also for Ps Alby and Vivienne as they take care of her.
Our World
North India – Praise God with our Partner M, who has reported more baptisms this week. Pray for these new believers to grow in their faith and obedience in Christ and become mature Christ followers who will in turn lead others to Him.
Pray for healing for contacts from Partners G and HBM, who are sick or are suspected with COVID – Brother A, Pastor S and Brother D. Pray for healing from fever, body ache and other effects.
Indonesia – Some of our partners are embarking on projects, like a tuition centre and a chicken farm, to financially support themselves and make a positive impact on their community for Jesus. Pray that these projects will provide for them financially and be self-supporting. Pray that God will use them to bless their community and neighbours.
West Nepal – Our partner here has been invited by local officials to start an orphanage in Area D. Pray for the entire process (from finding a suitable place to setting up a functional orphanage) to be done in a God-honouring way. May our partner use this opportunity to show God’s love for the people in Nepal. Praise God that our partner also has a heart to reach out to remote villages bordering India with much needed medicine and online support of two doctors as the COVID situation affects many there. May the love of Christ touch these villages through these efforts.
