For church ministry

• Pray for the arrangements and preparation needed to resume church gatherings on-site. Pray that brothers and sisters will continue to have a heart of perseverance, patience and unity regardless of the changing environment, and continue to be rooted in the Lord’s Word, to be salt and light, and to be a faithful witness for Jesus.

• The Pastor Search committee will be able to find suitable pastors for the church in His time.

• Please pray for Pastor Thiu and his family, his study in New College and his ministry with CECE.

For individual needs

• Please pray for our children who have been back to school, brothers and sisters who are busy with their dissertations, looking for jobs or finding ways to further education.

• Please pray for those Hong Kong immigrants who have just arrived in the UK and for those who are planning to come. Pray that the Lord would keep them settled and well-adjusted, that they would have calm and peace, and that He would move unbelievers to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

For the world

• Pray for countries and people who are experiencing livelihoods, economic, social and political instability, and even the threat of war. Pray for God’s mercy, justice, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit to come to all people.

• The number of Covid-19 infections in Scotland is increasing rapidly as the new school year begins. Pray for God’s healing hands for those who fall ill. Pray for wisdom for governments and experts to find effective ways to control the pandemic as soon as possible.

• Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. Pray for the Lord’s peace to be with the survivors and the families of those who died. May God have mercy on the world and put an end to all kinds of violence; and may the love of Christ touch the hearts of people and pursue peace.

• With more than 36 million Muslims and only several thousand Christians in Afghanistan, believers are up against persecution from both their new government and tribal society. There are no church buildings in Afghanistan and many Christians are cut off from underground networks of believers. They feel isolated and unsure whom to trust. Pray the secret church there would grow in unity and in numbers. Pray that God will raise up servant leaders among indigenous believers to work for Christ’s Kingdom by praying, preaching the Word, and making disciples. (opendoors.org.uk)
