Pray for the Christians around the world who face persecution for their faith. May the Lord strengthen and comfort them in their trials, protect them from harm, and grant them courage to remain faithful to Christ. May His love and hope shine through their lives and bring others to know Him.

Mandarin Congregation

Pray for the November 28 co-workers’ retreat, that it will be a meaningful time of fellowship and renewal. Pray for the TCEMF Mandarin Revival Meeting from November 13–15, that God will work in the hearts of those who attend and draw them closer to Him. Pray also for the young immigrant families who have recently connected with our church through AWANA and the Clay Music Evangelistic Concert, that they will continue to build relationships within the church community and come to know Christ more deeply.

Cantonese Congregation

Please pray for the Quarter Three Sunday School classes and talks, that God would grant wisdom to the teachers and receptive hearts to participants as they are equipped to bear witness for the Lord. Pray also for the “Under the Rainbow” evangelistic meeting on October 17th, that God would use the gathering to spread the Gospel. Finally, pray for those baptized and received into membership in September, that the Lord would deepen their thirst for knowing Him and strengthen them to be witnesses for Christ.

105 Gibson

Pray for the staff and volunteers preparing for Christmas activities, that the Lord will grant them strength, unity, and energy throughout the process. May they experience His joy and find fulfillment in serving Him despite the busyness of the season. Pray that every Christmas event and service will be a channel of God’s grace and blessing, bringing His love to the community.
