Prayer Points 13 March 2022

Our Church

Covid Cases –We have received increasingly more notification of members testing positive. Pray for God’s grace to sustain these and that they may all recover fully. Pray also for the vulnerable in our midst as we return for in-person activities weekly. We continue to encourage members to inform Ps Alby or Bro Zhiwen if you attended a church activity in person and later test positive. We need to ensure that your close contacts are informed and that they avoid interaction with the vulnerable young and elderly in their family. Kindly also refrain from returning for in person activities if you are not feeling well.

Zion Bishan Kindergarten –Several children from ZBK have also contracted the virus. Pray for the staff team as they maintain a safe environment for children who are mainly below vaccination age.

The Next Lap Continues –It’s been more than a year since the formation of the 4 English Congregations with their dedicated Shepherding teams. Since last month the 1030am & 1pm CSTs have been working together to support one another, as have the 3pm & 5pm CSTs. Pray for our leaders as they continue to think how best to disciple and care for each member of the Zion Bishan flock.

Soccer Ministry –Since late Feb 2022, the ministry is taking a 3 week break from training due to rising Omicron cases in the community and the usual exam and term break. Pray that the relationships made through this platform to the youth and children from our neighbourhood will be a good and effective way for us to shine the light of Christ’s love and truth into these various families.

Youth Fellowship – Pray that our youths will have a clearer vision of Jesus as they study the gospel of Mark, through monthly Bible-talks. Thank God for various families who have been opening up their homes to host dinners with youths. Pray for mutual edification as we engage in intergenerational fellowship.

Our World

India –Pray for the provision of good and appropriate training materials for the many rural pastors under one partner here. Pray also for unity between these rural pastors and other pastors from urban places. Praise God also for the joyous occasion of the inauguration of a new church hall in 2 weeks’ time.

Ukraine –Since Russia began an escalated invasion of Ukraine on 24 Feb, it is estimated that more than 2 million people have fled Ukraine, according to United Nations (BBC 8 Mar). Poland has taken in 1.2m refugees, followed by Hungary 190k, Slovakia 141k, Moldova 83k, Romania 82k etc. Pray for the Lord’s mercy on the refugees and for the church to respond to provide for the refugees and for Christians to be witnesses for Christ in this time of need.
