Prayer Points 13 June 2021
Our Church
#GettingReal about Race & Ethnicity – As we hear the exhortation from our preachers this week, pray that we will capture the vision of God’s people as described in Revelation. Pray that as a church, awaiting Jesus return, we will welcome all from every nation, tribe, people and tongue to be part of this family. May God open our eyes to see where we have been unloving towards one another and pray that we learn how to better love one another so that the world will know that we are His disciples.
End of Phase 2 Heightened Alert – Thank God for seeing us and our nation through these past few weeks of Heightened Alert. Pray for easing of restrictions to allow more interaction to support and grow in care & discipleship with one another, and also in outreach and ministry to our neighbours & community.
Our People
Emeritus Pastor Quek Swee Hwa – was hospitalised on 8 Jun but has since been discharged. Thank God all test results came back normal. We also rejoice with him and his family as they celebrate his 80th birthday on 15 Jun. Thank God for his tireless ministry even at his age.
Our World
India – Thank God for the decreasing number of COVID-19 infections being reported and for the relief work carried out by our partners in the North East India (Matthew 25:35, 40).
Thank God that we have an opportunity to participate in an online training programme with one of our partners. Pray that this will help them in their work.
Nepal – Pray for adequate food provisions for three children’s homes run by our partner. There is a general shortage of food grains. In one of the hardest hit homes, there are no roads and only can be supplied by plane. As a result food has become very expensive. Pray too for the online training for young leaders planned for starting in August.
Tibet – Pray for youths who come to the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu, from the more rural and mountainous regions to study. They are facing financial difficulties as they are unable to find part time jobs during lockdown to support themselves while staying in their relatives’ homes. Pray for our partner to have wisdom to minister to their needs.
Singapore & Malaysia – Pray for both nations as they continue in a season of heightened alert and lock-down (Malaysia has extended its MCO by 2 more weeks). Pray for businesses and livelihoods affected by ongoing restrictions. Pray also for the leaders of both nations to have wisdom to continue navigating these difficult times, balancing the need for safety and the economy.
Pray that Christian communities in both nations will continue to help and love their neighbours so that everyone will pull through these challenging times.
