Save the Date
National Day Of Prayer is next Thursday, May 7. More details to come next week.
Weekly Prayer Points:
Local: Please pray for the prodigal children of those families in our city. Pray for their hearts to be softened and turned back to the Father. Ask the Lord to remove the veil of deception unto a revelation of the truth of who He is. Also pray for the parents of these children to walk in wisdom and love, being comforted and encouraged by the Spirit. Pray for God’s original purpose and destiny for these children to be fulfilled.
Global: Chinese house churches, otherwise known as “the underground church”, are unregistered assemblies of Christians in the People’s Republic of China. Since they are not official registered organizations, they cannot own property and thus meet secretly in homes, abandoned buildings, sometimes even in caves or woods. Everytime they meet they chance being caught, arrested, imprisoned, tortured and even killed for their faith. Please pray for these brothers and sisters in Christ who are literally living out being persecuted for their beliefs. Pray for the Lord to change the hearts of those in government who make the laws that do not permit open and free worship of Christ.
