PRAYER FOCUS

GENERAL

  1. As we enter Holy Week, culminating in Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, we continue with a heart of thanksgiving and praise for all that Christ has done for us – his suffering, death and resurrection. Thank him for everlasting and abundant life which he gives to all who put their trust in him.

  2. A reminder to all to begin to pray for our church's 40 Days Of Blessing (40DOB) movement which is from 18 July to 29 August.

  • Pray for Pastor Shih Ming and Pastor Vincent who provide pastoral leadership in guiding the committee to implement the 40DOB plans.

  • Pray that members of the respective ministries would respond favourably to help, plan, and provide resources needed to carry out the 40DOB movement well for the glory of God.

  • For all to be ready to receive and respond to the devotional materials that will be used.

  • That the Lord will open many opportunities for each one to bless the community and the nations.

  1. Pray for the situation in Myanmar. Pray for an end to the bloodshed and for peaceful resolution to the unrest in the country.

  2. Continue to pray against the Covid-19 pandemic. Pray that the vaccines will also be effective against the variant strains. Pray for help for those who have fallen ill and those affected financially, emotionally and mentally. Pray for the Lord's intervention so we may once again come together as a church to worship Him and fellowship with one another unmasked.

  3. Ask God to heal our broken world. Pray for world leaders to handle the economic challenges and political tensions wisely.

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’.
