一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 羅馬書1:16 Romans

16 我不以福音為恥;這福音本是 神的大能,要救一切相信的,先是猶太人,後是希臘人。16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:

為被迫害的基督徒禱告:近年來非洲奈及利亞北部的基督徒不斷遭受富拉尼穆斯林極端份子的攻擊。富拉尼穆斯林對基督徒的攻擊除了信仰因素之外也算是一種種族清洗。求神讓這種信仰迫害種族屠殺情形停止,求神保護遭迫害的基督徒,並讓富拉尼人悔改得救。

Pray for Christians under persecution.  In recent years, Christians in the northern region of Nigeria have been under attack from extremists belonging to the Fulani Muslim sect.  The constant attacks and killings by the Fulani targeted at Christians can be seen as a type of ethnic cleansing. In one incident, a Christian woman and her baby daughter were both killed by Fulani herdsmen.  Pray for the violence to stop, for God’s protection over the persecuted Christians, and for the Fulani to repent and be saved.  

為待業的肢體禱告:新冠肺炎致使一些弟兄姊妹失去他們的工作,或是工作收入減少。請為這些弟兄姊妹能順利找到新的工作禱告,還有個人以及家庭的生活所需不致於匱乏。

Pray for those between jobs.  Pray for those who lost their jobs or income reduced due to COVID-19.  Pray that they would be able to find a new job soon.  Pray that God’s provision for them would continue. 

為肢體的健康禱告:加州的疫情再度升高,請為年長的弟兄姊妹,特別是那些住在療養院的長輩,以及在醫療行業工作的弟兄姊妹以及他們的家人的身體健康禱告。

Pray for the health of church members.   The COVID-19 pandemic in California is on the rise again.  Please pray for the health of our elderly brothers and sisters, especially for those living in nursing homes.  Also, pray for those working in health industry, and for their families.
