We thank God for a wonderful time over Zoom on 13 Jan, with those who responded at the recent Christmas Musical. Through it, they got to know a bit more of our CG, Discipleship programme, and the Church.
We praise God for the persons who have signed up for the Alpha Course, Disciple 1 and Disciple 4 Courses, which will start in Feb. Let’s pray for the participants as well the facilitators to have a meaningful time of learning and growing together to be faithful disciples of Christ in this journey. Prayer is appreciated, too, for smooth operation without technical glitches for the online sessions.
Let’s pray for the whole Church (ourselves and one another) that we may grow in deeper devotion and intimacy with the Lord, and be empowered for His glory in our discipleship journey.
Silver Boxes
1. We thank God for the youths who have decided to serve alongside us in Silver Boxes. We pray for more young people to join us in ministering to the children in Silver Boxes.
2. Pray along with us as we prepare for Easter. May the Lord continue to anoint and lead our teams.
Sonshine Kids
1. We thank God for the commitment of our Leaders and pray for more leaders to serve alongside us.
2. We thank God for the increase in the number of children attending Sonshine Kids. May the Lord continue to anoint us and lead us to touch each child's life for Jesus.
Pray for the Cell Leaders. Ask God for fresh anointing as they embark on a new season to serve Him and His people. Pray that they will continue to grow in spiritual maturity, servanthood attitude and leadership skills.
Pray for the Sunday Speakers. May the Lord grant them the spiritual insight and understanding, and empower them to deliver the words with boldness and clarity.
Prayer and Worship Night 10 Feb23:
Pray for open and soft hearts as the youth come together for our first Prayer and Worship Night of 2023.
Pray for deepening desire for communion with the Lord through prayer, and a heart in touch with His heart to intercede for others.
We will be praying over the Year of Empowerment as youths blessed to bless, for breakthrough in revival and against spiritual warfare.
General Pointers:
Pray that our youths will continue to hunger for God even after the youth camp and retreats in Dec last year, and that whatever seeds that were planted will find good soil and take deep roots.
Pray for peace and favour over those youths going through transition into new chapters of their lives (e.g. those going from primary to secondary school, changing classes after choosing subject combination, secondary to tertiary education etc.).
