Weekly Theme: “The Visions of Church”

1. Pray that our church pastors, elders and coworkers have a burden of building up God’s
house (church), and have a vision of expanding God’s kingdom.
2. Pray that our church pastors, elders, and coworkers are all connected to our Lord Christ, and
have an attitude of working together in harmony according to the part of the church body
each member belongs to so that we can help and edify one another with love.
3. Pray God to help us to work with Him to build our church with one united mind.
4. Pray God that we all have the same vision of church planting for the growth of the church
and the expansion of God’s kingdom. Pray God that we can commit ourselves to serving our
God with a mind of team work, and are willing to care for one another so that God’s visions
can be carried out, and the gift of each individual coworker can be fully utilized by God.
