Are you ready to bless? 

The 40 Days of Blessings start on 18 Jul and that is barely 6 weeks away. Some are excited to embark on this journey, while others are still hesitating. Whatever you may be feeling, let’s take it to the Lord in prayer. Here is a list of items to pray about:

Community Life

• Pray for an outpouring of godly wisdom, divine strength, and joy of the Lord upon the pastors and ministry leaders as they lead the church in bringing hope to an increasingly distressing world.

• Pray for members to grow in their knowledge of and love for God by intentionally setting aside regular time to read His Word and do His will.

• Pray to join a cell (if you are not in a cell) where mutual encouragement and sharing of each other’s burdens can be lived out, for God has wisely said, “a cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Eccl 4: 12). You can register at this link https://tinyurl.com/40DOBSIGNUP

Outreach Ministry

• Pray for the Spirit’s leading and divine connections as the Outreach ministry develops suitable projects to bless the communities.

• Pray for a display of God’s wonders during this time of pandemic. Pray that the people who are affected directly or indirectly by coronavirus will experience God’s presence, power, and provision.

Visually Impaired Ministry

• Pray that the Braille transcription of the 40DOB materials will go smoothly.

• Pray that the Lord will move the visually impaired members to participate in the 40DOB campaign.

Filipino Service

• Pray for the preparation to train cell leaders and assistant leaders so that they are well equipped before 40DOB commences.

• Pray for the preparation and recording of Bible Study sessions based on the memory verses for 40DOB.

• Pray for good health, favour, and wisdom for the Core leaders as they lead the Filipino Ministry.

In January this year, Ps Shih Ming talked about the Church-wide Engagement Programme 40 Days of Blessing (40DOB for short) that will take place from 18 Jul to 29 Aug. So what’s it about?

What's Project Safe Place

A guided process for the cell to discern the people God is calling them to provide a safe place to. This includes: 

• Listening to the people whom the cell is to serve

• Planning a project to be a safe place for the people (e.g. inviting migrant workers to your cell for dinner, bringing a blessing packet to the needy in the community) 

• Executing the project

• Developing a sustainable plan to continue to be a safe place to the people
