“BE STILL BEFORE THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM.” (PSALM 37:7)
PRAY……….
1. That the Lord, in the church’s 38th year, will empower us to set forth on the path of progress and growth in our mission. Thank God the church has not sunk as some said it would, but is on even keel. Now the course for the coming years have been drawn out by the navigators. Its time for all hands on deck, each doing his part, to move the ship onward. Pray for cohesiveness and sustained application and implementation.
2. For the board of elders to be strong and courageous as it works with the pastors to move the church in the direction set out during the excellent planning retreat.
3. For the Lord to help us find suitable candidates to fill two positions: Church Administrator and Children’s Pastor.
4. For the Lord to have mercy and the international aid agencies and donor countries to be quick in showing up to help the Philippines, Samoa, and Indonesia. The devastation was caused by typhoon, underwater earthquake and land earthquake.
5. For Mahal our Filippino member whose family house was badly affected. Also for her church in Manila, especially the poorer members who need help. Pray that more help will come to them besides what our church will do.
6. Pray for Stephen Tay as he prays about his future; for Simeon Siau to gain new strength and divine health; and our other missionaries in sensitive countries. Pray also for Jude Ng as he has decided to take a further step by applying to take the next step in the missions track of our church. This entails attending the School of Foreign Missions, YWAM.
7. Pray for the youth exco headed by Dr Sharon Sim and team as they pray and plan and plough on. And also for Pastor Mary who is currently resting for two months.
8. Pray for the pastoral staff as they do detailed planning and calendering for 2010 before they submit them to the BOE and the head of depts to guide their budgetting.
