OUTREACH MINISTRY
Dearest friends and co-labourers of God,
I greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Please pray along with me:
O God our Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You that You are making all things new. In that light, You have given us this new year to start afresh so that we can be assured that in every situation we face, Your grace is constantly being renewed! We know that because of Your great love, we are not consumed (by any situation or circumstance) for Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness, O God! (Lam 3:22-24).
As we begin this new year, we pray for all the people in our community. We pray for the children in the community, those in Hope Student Care Centre, and those in the Anglican Family Centre. We pray that as they begin a new school year, You give them the strength and energy to focus on their studies and to concentrate on what is required. We also ask that You surround them with good friends who will include them into their groups and teams as they do their school projects and have fun with each other. We pray that You provide them with godly teachers who will nurture them with good values and good attitudes. Light the spark in the children’s’ hearts to realise that Your Son Jesus Christ always welcomes them into His Kingdom and doesn’t turn any of them away.
We pray for our homeless and rough-sleeper friends, O God. For those who still choose to remain outdoors, we pray that You will give them protection from harm, especially the Covid-19 variants whatever they may be. For those who are looking to find homes, we pray that You will smoothen the paths for them to find a roof over their heads. We know Your heart, Heavenly Father, that You do not wish to see them homeless. Neither do we. And in accordance with Your desire, we pray that they will be able to find homes.
We pray for the elderly in the community, especially those we minister to in the St Luke’s Eldercare Centres and the ECON Medicare Centre. In this new year, give them good health so that as we minister to them, they will come to realise that You are their Divine Healer, and that they, too, can cry, “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved, for You are my praise.” (Jer 17:14). We pray for the staff and caregivers in the centres, that they shall be blessed with wisdom, forbearance, and strength to manage and take care of our elderly friends.
We pray for those who are hungry and needy – those who hunger for actual food as well as for righteousness, and those who need financial support as well as emotional support. We humbly ask, O God, that as we reach out to them as a family blessed to bless the community and the nations, that You will give us a renewed spirit and energy to bring them Your hope and Your love. Allow us to feed them and support them materially and spiritually. Give us the ability to show them that You can restore their dignity, their self-worth, and their self-esteem by restoring Your image in them.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen!

CARE HUB (English & Chinese)
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.
English version : CAREHUB.PLMC.ORG
Chinese version : MSCAREHUB.PLMC.ORG
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’.
