PRAYER FOCUS

OUTREACH MINISTRY

Dearest friends and co-labourers of God,

I greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Please pray along with me:

O God, our Heavenly Father, Your word in Matt 1:23 says that “a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, ‘God with us’).” Gracious Father, as we end another year of having to deal with the Covid-19 situation and its restrictions, we truly need You to be with us. Help us to remember, as we come into the Advent and Christmas seasons, that You are with us and will always be with us. We also pray that You will be with all the friends in the community whom we reach out and minister to.

We pray for the children and staff of Hope Student Care Centre – that they may find rest and rejuvenation during the school holidays and to not be so anxious about the new school year. We pray that as we bring the blessings of Christmas to them, they may get to know more about Your Son Jesus Christ and why He came to live among us. We pray that the children will realise that Jesus loves all of them and is waiting to receive them into His Kingdom with open arms.

We pray for the elderly friends, their helpers and the staff at the St Luke’s Eldercare and ECON Medicare centres. We ask that through our blessings to them, You will show them that there is peace that can be found through Your Son Jesus Christ. We pray, in accordance with Your word, that You will keep them in perfect peace as they learn to trust You and keep their minds stayed on You (Isa 26:3).

We pray for our homeless and rough-sleeper friends. Merciful Father, we are entering into the rainy season. We pray that our friends will find proper shelter and protection from the rain. As we minister to them this Christmas season, help us to show them the Hope that Jesus Christ brings. Help them to see that You are the God of all hope, the God of grace who will call them to Your eternal glory through Jesus Christ and restore, empower, strengthen, and establish them (1 Pet 5:10).

We pray for the hungry, the needy, the abused and the marginalised in our community. Deliver them, O God, and give them respite. Allow us to be channels of Your love to them this Christmas. Open our eyes and ears so that we may be able to see who they are and hear their cries. Open our hearts so that our love – the love we are able to show because You first loved us (1 John 4:19) – will be shown freely to them. And as we show them how much You love them, Heavenly Father, pull them gently closer towards You so that they may hear of Your Kingdom, receive Your Kingdom, and enter Your Kingdom.

We pray all these things in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

CARE & HEAL

CARE HUB (English & Chinese)

Care Hub is formed to support and journey alongside our members / worshippers whose lives and livelihoods have been affected by this crisis. The end goal of Care Hub is pastoral care, for someone to journey with them and remind them they are beloved of God and to find strength in God to face the challenges.

As each individual has different needs, Care Hub serves as a one-stop helpline where an individual can obtain support in the church in various areas. If you have been affected by this crisis, Care Hub is here to support you.


English version : CAREHUB.PLMC.ORG
Chinese version :
MSCAREHUB.PLMC.ORG


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to be a worshipper at PLMC to obtain help for Care Hub?

As long as you have been worshipping with us, either on-site or online, you are welcome to obtain help from Care Hub. We seek to journey with you as a family of faith during, and beyond, the COVID-19 period.

2. Is it compulsory for a Care Befriender to journey with me?

Yes, it is. We are not designed to journey alone. The church is the Body of Christ and each of us is a part of the body. Having a Care Befriender in this journey is to experience the community and interdependence of our Triune God. God is never alone; we need others too.

3. How long will the Care Befriender journey with me?

Each person has a different journey. Each journey is unique. In general, the Care Befriender will journey with you 3 – 6 months. Let these be a meaningful journey of deepening in God through the company of another.

4. Can I request for pastor to be my spiritual mentor/counsellor?

Yes, you can make the request, but we are all called to be a priesthood of believers hence most likely a mature believer will be assigned to journey with you. Trust that it is God’s hand that has led you thus far, and He will ensure that you are mentored or counselled by the right person with the necessary spiritual gifts for you.

5. I am not affected by COVID-19 but I need someone to talk to. Do I send my request through Care Hub?

No, Care Hub specifically caters to those who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications. Please contact the relevant ministry that caters to your need directly. Contact details can be found at the end of this site, under ‘Our Ministries’.
