Prayer Points 22 Sep 2024

Our Church

Tamil Service – Our Tamil service celebrates 40 years of God’s goodness and faithfulness today (22 Sep). We are thankful for what God has been doing in our congregation for these years.  Pray that the Tamil congregation will grow deeper spiritually and also in number.

ZBCS Mid-Autumn Outreach – Thank God that the Mid-Autumn Outreach on 14 September was well attended by over 400 attendees, including 50-60 newcomers and non-believers. Please continue to pray that for the Gospel that was sowed to grow towards belief in the non-believers, and for our ongoing follow up efforts to build relationships with them.

MCEL – Ps Lim was invited to be the speaker at the MCEL church camp in Tangkak, Malaysia, from September 16-18, with 38 attendees. The message was on the Book of Jonah, with the theme “Where Are You?” highlighting self-reflection on one’s life focus. This was the first camp in five years since the pandemic, attended by brothers and sisters from Endau, Rompin, and Hubong, united in learning God’s word. Please pray for spiritual revival, greater strength, and wisdom in serving the Lord.

Our World

Lebanon – On 17th Sep, 9 people were killed and at least 3,000 were wounded when pagers exploded in He.zbo.llah strongholds across Lebanon. (The Straits Times, 18 Sep). Pray for what this means in terms of possible retaliation and its implications for the region.  Our partner reports that all Lebanese hospitals and emergency rooms are full of people who have lost their fingers, hands and some other parts.  As a church they are seeking to demonstrate love in action as well as helping with blood donations. Pray also that God will raise peacemakers to bring His peace to this country.

Nepal – Another group from our church left on Friday, 20th Sep for a time of serving one partner there as well as enjoying some time together as a family. Praise God for the opportunity to help with the medical health of the children and youth and the special needs training needs of our partner.  May both groups from our church be a blessing to our partner.
