Silver Boxes
1. We continue to pray for the P6 children as they wait for the results of their secondary school posting. May the Lord continue to help them fix their eyes on Him and put their trust in Him.
2. We thank God for the different speakers for our Christmas Special Programme on 18 December. We pray the Lord's anointing on the organising teams and for the Children's hearts to open to Jesus.
3. Pray for our upcoming Camp Good News. We have 80 children who have signed up for the Day Camp from 26 December to 28 December. We pray for our children to encounter Jesus and be like David, to have a heart after God.
Sonshine Kids
1. We thank God for the increase in the number of youths who have joined our Sonshine Youth programme. We pray they will continue to experience God's loving presence and enjoy coming to meet one another.
2. Pray for our upcoming Christmas Special Programme on 10 December. May each child experience God's love for them and open their heart to Jesus.
3. Pray for our Christmas Home visit to the families of the Sonshine Kids. May we continue to build relationships with each family and may they experience God's love in this special season.
We thank God for the many that will be coming for the Church Musical. As much as we pray for the smooth running of the Musical, let us also lift up to the Lord for a mighty outpouring of the Spirit and turning of hearts towards Him. Let’s pray for the attendees and especially the pre-believers to have a taste of God’s goodness and lives deepened in Him. Let’s pray for many to make a decision to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour, and for us to journey with them.
We also give thanks for the Christmas Season. In the parties and gatherings, let’s pray for God to give us opportunities and boldness to share the Message and its meaning, that seeds of the Gospel may be sown.
Let us end the year by praising God for His faithfulness with a renewed trust in Him. Plan a special time for that.
Pray for the upcoming Evangelistic services. Pray for God’s anointing to be upon the speakers and the ministry teams . Pray that as the seeds of the gospel are sowed, they will land on good soil, bear fruits and many will be touched by the power and love of God.
