PRAYERWATCH Third Sunday of ADVENT – Rejoice, the Lord is close Opening Prayer: “Dear Lord Jesus, as the celebration of Your birth draws near, fill us with joy and eager anticipation of Your coming once more into our lives. Renew our minds and hearts so that, while we await Your arrival as God’s people, we are not passive, but actively seeking out ways to make You better known and loved this Christmas season. Amen.”
China – More than 100 Christians detained by Chinese police In coordinated raids across Chengdu, police snatched pastors and more than 100 worshippers from their homes. Some claimed abuse while in custody. (Source: South China Morning Post Facebook, 9 Dec) Pray: God to protect those who are in custody or are missing, and for them to be released soon. A new generation of fervent and passionate Chinese believers to reach out to their countrymen with the Good News. Perseverance for Chinese Christians to stand strong against tightening religious restrictions and persecution. Young believers will enter a deeper walk with Jesus, withstanding the challenge of their materialistic environment.
WEEKLY ATTENDANCE
Christ will reveal Himself to government officials who seek to control the church.
Malaysia & Singapore – Maritime & air-space spat Pray: Amicable and equitable solutions to be found through negotiations. Wisdom for the relevant parties at the negotiation table. The good relations between the two countries will be guarded and upheld. Mission – Yew On & Chern Chern Pray: God’s protection and journey mercy as they commute between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh for ministry and meetings. God’s provision of a suitable place to rent, and guidance for ministry involvement for Yew On as they prepare to move to Siem Reap soon. God’s favour for the MOU renewal between OMF Cambodia and University of Health Sciences (expiring soon) and between OMF Cambodia and Ministry of Cults and Religion.
