This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:8)

June 2023：

1. First of all, we declare that the Lord still reigns even in times of suffering. We ask the Lord to help us focus on Him, so that our hearts can be established by Him. As the apostle Peter said, “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, you and make you strong, firm and steadfast” (1 Peter 5:10-11). To Him be the power forever and ever! Amen!

2. Let us pray for China. Only the living God can truly satisfy the hearts of the Chinese people. Chinese believers often face struggles and challenges. Pray that the Lord will strengthen all believers, granting them strong faith, vibrant vitality, and a beautiful testimony.

3. Pray for the upcoming changes in the church due to the pastor’s vacation and the summer break in July. May the Lord protect and care for the brothers and sisters. We pray that the Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd, will personally shepherd the flock. May they be filled with the Holy Spirit, equipped with gifts and abilities.

4. Lift up prayers for the preparations of the summer camp. Ask the Lord to enable all the workers in the organizing committee to work together harmoniously, ensuring that all the preparations are well-organized. May the activities planned for the summer camp have a greater impact. Also, pray for the summer camp itself to face future challenges under this year’s theme: “Gospel in Turbulent Times.”

5. Pray for the short-term mission service in West Africa of Sister Christina Thornell from Korskyrkan. May her translation work bring the true light to more people, drawing them back to the Lord Jesus. Pray that they may acknowledge their ignorance and find joy in the blessings of eternal life.

6. We express gratitude for the church continuing the “Bible Reading Project” and “Memorizing Golden Verses Project.” May the Lord empower and encourage brothers and sisters to actively participate. May these projects help them develop a love for the Lord’s words, meditating on them day and night, and become the people who are blessed.
