Prayer Points 19 Jan 2025
Our Church
Terusan – Pray for the Badminton Tournament this evening (19 Jan) at Terusan, that it fosters fellowship, strengthens relationships, and builds connections with the Tamil-speaking community, paving the way for faith conversations and a Tamil worship service.
Mission Teams Retreat – This past Saturday, the Foreign Missions, Home Missions and Missions Education and Mobilisation committees met to pray, worship and align ourselves together for a year of “getting sent” for God’s Kingdom. Pray for God’s wisdom as our various teams work in the harvest, in Singapore, and beyond. May individuals and Action Groups (AGs) from our church be inspired to reach out in love through a local ministry or cross-cultural project this year. May people be willing to take time to open their hearts to serve others beyond their usual social circles.
Our World
Nepal – Pray for a brother who is living in a remote part of West Nepal to serve his home village. He faces challenges as believers are not usually welcomed there. Pray that this brother and his family would persevere in loving and being light to this village for Christ. Pray for God’s protection and strength in the midst of opposition to their presence here.
Lebanon – Pray for wisdom and discernment for the nation’s newly appointed president and prime minister as they navigate the ongoing economic crisis and the the ceasefire between Israel-Hezbollah. Pray for guidance in implementing policies that bring economic stability, reduce poverty, and foster sustainable development as they prioritise the needs of the people. May God continue to uphold peace, particularly in maintaining the ceasefire with Israel, and for fostering unity and reconciliation within the region.
Gaza ceasefire – Thank God that Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire deal last Wednesday. This ends 15 months of war in Gaza (ST, 16 Jan). Pray that the peace would hold and the various phases of the implementation of the peace process will occur so that healing can come to both sides in the conflict. May believers in this region be empowered by the Spirit to bring God’s peace to the communities shattered by war and hatred.
