This Week's Prayer Guide
April 26 - This week, pray for personal requests from pastors in Xiangtan, for their families and their churches. Pray for God to be with their family and church relationships.
April 27 - Please pray that the lives of the church leaders can continue to be renewed and built up in Christ. One brother shared that "If [our] lives are not united to Christ, there will be no fruit in shepherding."
April 28 - Pastor G asked for prayer for healing among churches. "Because there have been wounds in the past, everyone needs to let go of those old injuries and put away this going-our-own-way spirit and our self-righteousness, so that the churches can be united and stand together."
April 29 - Several leaders are aiming to be more effective in bearing witness for Christ to their extended families. One brother shared, "Even if we cannot gather publicly, the relatives and friends around us can still see our lives." Pray that these church leaders can live out the Gospel in their lives so that they can have more influence on extended families and their friends.
April 30 - One brother asks for prayer for the children of the church. "Right now the state forbids children under eighteen from having religious life, and these children in public schools spend most of their time receiving education in evolution. Young people can even feel tension between evolution and their parents’ faith, and under postmodern influence they also do not believe in absolute truth." Please pray that God will teach his little children his truth, and strengthen the hands of workers who labor in youth and family ministries.
May 1 - As in many churches in China, pastors in Xiangtan recognize a lack of formal theological training. One pastor asked, "Please pray that as [we] study God’s word and take part in theological training, [we] would be rooted more deeply in the true faith and receive more blessing in shepherding others."
May 2 - One sister in her sixties asks for prayer for her family, "I am already older now, to shepherd brothers and sisters in the church now is physically exhausting at times, and the pressure is very great… Over the past two years I have been especially burdened for my two sons. After they got married and had their own families and work pressures, they have not come for a long time now." Please pray that God will strengthen the body of this sister and grant her good health, and may her two sons return to the faith of their parents.
4月26日——本周,请为湘潭牧师们的个人代祷事项、他们的家庭及教会祷告。求神同在,保守他们与家人及教会的关系。
4月27日——请祷告,愿教会领袖的生命能在基督里持续更新并得着建造。一位弟兄分享说:"如果我们的生命没有与基督联合,牧养就结不出果子。"
4月28日——G牧师请求为教会间健康的关心祷告。"因为教会之间过去曾有过伤痕,大家需要放下那些旧伤,摒弃各行其是的心态和自以为义,这样教会才能合一,同心同行。"
4月29日——几位领袖立志在向亲友见证基督方面更加有效。一位弟兄分享道:"即使我们不能公开聚会,周围的亲友依然能看见我们的生命。"求主让这些教会领袖能在生活中活出福音,从而对亲友产生更大的影响。
4月30日——一位弟兄为教会的孩子们代求。 "目前国家禁止十八岁以下儿童参与宗教生活,公立学校里的孩子们大部分时间都在接受进化论教育。年轻人甚至会感受到进化论与父母信仰之间的矛盾,在后现代主义的影响下,他们也不相信绝对真理。" 求神将祂的真理教导给这些小孩子,并坚固那些在青少年和家庭事工中劳苦的同工。
5月1日——与中国许多教会一样,湘潭的牧师们也意识到缺乏正规的神学培训。一位牧师祈求:"请为我们祷告,愿我们在研读神的话语并参与神学培训时,能更深地扎根于真道,并在牧养他人时蒙受更多祝福。"
5月2日——一位六十多岁的姊妹为她的家庭寻求代祷:"我现在年纪大了,牧养教会里的弟兄姊妹有时在身体上很吃力,压力也很大……过去两年里,我特别为我的两个儿子感到负担。自从他们结婚成家,加上工作压力,已经很久没来教会了。" 请祷告求神坚固这位姊妹的身体,赐她健康,并愿她的两个儿子能回归父母的信仰。
