PRAYER FOCUS
CORPORATE PRAYER POINTERS
PLMC Prayer Concerns
A) PLMC as a church of disciples and disciple-makers
In obedience to Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28:19, “Make disciples …”
Discipleship => growth towards maturity in the likeness of Christ, in all aspects
Development and Conceptualization of the Discipleship Framework for the Church:
God’s leading and wisdom to craft a framework that is most suitable for PLMC
Ability to communicate the Framework to stakeholders when required. - Strategy for implementation after the Framework is formed
Transformation of the D & N Ministry:
God’s leading and strategy to transform the ministry for the need of the future
God’s wisdom to equip and nurture the church for their faith journey
Strategy to remain relevant in our way of doing ministry to achieve maximal impact
B) PLMC Conference: Generations Unbroken 16-19 June
Thanksgiving to God for a strong sign-up of participants. Still have places for more
God to use the Conference to bond us together as a spiritual family; ties between the generations of seniors, adults, youths and children; ties across our various congregations of different languages
God’s anointing upon the speakers, organising teams and helpers; also God’s provision for their personal needs as they serve & seek 1st His Kingdom agenda
C) Alpha Course Holy Spirit Weekend 11 June
Pray for strong Presence of God in the ministry of Holy Spirit
Questions about the work of Holy Spirit answered thru video presentations and discussions; resulting openness of heart to experience the Holy Spirit
Pray for anointing of power. Life-changing encounters. Salvation of seekers
D) Christmas Musical preparations
Thanksgiving for volunteers who had sign-up. Pray still for more manpower help to make up the various working groups
God’s leading & anointing upon Andrew Tan & team who will helm this event
Pray for smooth progress in finalising the script, budget and rehearsal schedules
God’s wisdom upon staff Paul to assess performers and assign them to different roles
E) Down Memory Lane: 90th Anniversary (digital exhibition)
Pray for more viewers to visit the DML website and be inspired to give thanks to God for His faithfulness towards PLMC over the years
As regular worshippers & members find their roots in our past generations, pray that they will be more resolved in commitment to PLMC as their home church
World Prayer Concerns
F) Ukraine-Russia War
Russia failed to take Mariupol but left many civilian residents dead in mass graves (9000 – 20,000?). War is now brought to other cities or villages in Ukraine
Economic sanctions on Russia remained compromised by Europe’s dependency on Russian oil. Peace-talks remained stalled
6.6 million had fled Ukraine (16% of 41 million population). These refugees and those who stayed on are not spared of various human sufferings
Pray:
For negotiations of cease-fire; peace makers to continue engaging the war lords
God’s protection & providence upon the innocent & helpless; basic food, water, medication, shelter, etc.
Churches to bring God’s comfort, love and hope to everyone, especially to the refugees and affected families in Ukraine & Russia
