代祷事项:请不断为上半年几项教会的事项祷告:
1.参加六号驿站:
请弟兄姐妹开始为自己以及所要邀请的人代祷,开始为认领名单代祷。聚会内容重点是“关系”,分两方面:一方面对信徒而言是深化与神和家人的关系。另一方面是领人与神建立关系,所以营会也是为未信主的家人和朋友而设。请大家出席这意义重大的聚会,让我们自己在今年蒙神的祝福,深化我们与神的关系也提升与家人的关系。同时,让我们的聚会也成为别人的祝福,开始向神祷告心中想要邀请的亲人或朋友,求神使他们在聚会中与神建立关系。这是一个深化体会“关系”及分享“关系”的特殊机遇,请代祷,请出席!
2.四月教会堂议会的筹备工作:求神让我们在为事工预备堂议会的报告时总结过去一年的服侍,向神感恩所成就的事,向神祈求看到在新一年可改进及开展的事。求神不断在我们当中成就更美的事,求神不断在我们当中动善工。
3.四月分主理牧师交替的筹备工作:教会的教牧长执正为着主理牧师的交替重新组织分配职责及运作方式。求主让所有的调整和改变使教会能更好承受神的托付也能更好的发挥教会的功能。让我们能纠正过去的错误,同时看到更多将来该做的事!
4.大谷地短宣队:短宣队的装备训练已经开始,将以《上帝乐意亲近我们》,《谁是我们真正的朋友》,《安慰与代求》三个课题见证分享父上帝,主耶稣及圣灵三一神与人的关系。求主让我们队员在受装备时深刻的了解和体会自己与神的关系,同时祈求圣灵在队员见证分享神时在人当中作印证感动的工作!
Prayer Items: Please pray for several church matters in the first half of the year unceasingly:
1. Participation in the church camp in June: Please start praying for yourself and the people you plan to invite to the event. Please begin to pray for the claim list. The main focus of this gathering is “relationship”, and it is divided into two aspects: for believers, it is to deepen relationships with God and family. The second aspect is to guide people to build a relationship with God. Therefore, the camp is also organised for non-Christian family and friends. Everyone is invited to participate in this significant camp so that we can be blessed by God this year, deepen our relationship with Him and enhance our relationships with our family. At the same time, let our camp be a blessing to others, begin to pray for the family members and friends we have in mind to invite to the event that God will enable them to establish a relationship with Him during the camp. This is a special opportunity for everyone to deeply experience and share “relationship”. Please pray and attend!
2. The preparatory work for the AGM in April: Pray that we can summarise the service made in the last year as we prepare the summary report for each ministry, thank God for the achievements and pray that God will help us see what can be improved upon and carried out in the new year. Pray that God will continually move among us to do good work and accomplish even more beautiful things.
3. The preparatory work for the change over of lead pastor: the church pastors, elders and deacons are in the midst of reshuffling duties, responsibilities and methods of operation. Pray that all the adjustments and changes will allow the church to better function as a church and bear the work that God has entrusted. Pray that God will enable us to correct the mistakes of the past and see more of the things that need to be done in the future!
4. Chiangmai short mission team: the equipping training for the mission team has already begun. They will be using the three topics “God wishes to be close to us”, “Who is our true friend” and “Comfort and intercession” to testify and share the relationship of the Holy Trinity, God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and Man. Pray that our team members can deeply understand and experience their own relationship with God through this equipping. At the same time, pray that the holy spirit will move the people as the team members share and witness!
