PRAYER FOCUS

OUTREACH

  1. We thank God for HIS favour and blessing for the year that has passed. It has been a great honour and privilege that we can partner our Lord Jesus to reach out to the underprivileged, homeless, isolated, broken and lost people in our community. Although the past year has been challenging, we thank God for opening doors for us to be able to still reach out to those whom HE loves in creative ways. May we continue to move in power and love, proclaiming that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

  1. Please pray for all the Chinese New Year Initiatives. As we roll out the events this Chinese New Year, may Lord Jesus be pleased with our worship as we work as a family in PLMC to bless those He cares for. We pray especially for those who are estranged from their families, our friends living in the streets, the migrant workers who are far away from their families and the many who are alone and lonely especially during this season. We pray that all will come to know and have a personal encounter with our loving Father and our Lord Jesus!!

  1. Please pray for the PLMC family. Pray for a fresh anointing from the Holy Spirit to ignite our hearts, stir us and move us in serving the poor and needy, lonely and lost, helpless and weak in our midst and in our community where God has placed us. Pray also for the many who have given generously of their time, prayers, spiritual gifts and resources to serve the Lord in the various Outreach ministries. Pray for Lord Jesus to pour His love, anointing, wisdom and compassion into each of us as we befriend, minister and walk with all the people in need.

May we live all our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and to the glory of God alone.


All Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!!

Thank you for your partnership in prayer.

CARE & HEAL

PASTORAL CARE

We praise and thank God that the daily infections of COVID-19 have been coming down in our nation. Never-the-less, we understand that there are some of us who are not coping as well as others, and there may be anxiety, frustration, sadness, anger, helplessness and a whole slew of other emotions. As your pastors, we want you to know that we are here for you.

  • You can email us at pastors@plmc.org or call us at 6285 1234

  • Please send your prayer requests to prayernet@plmc.org.

PLMC INNER HEALING MINISTRY

The PLMC Inner Healing Ministry helps individuals get to the root of things that are hindering their personal connection with God. This Ministry continues online every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm. Email requests to plihm@plmc.org

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.

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’.
