Prayer Points 23 Aug 2026

Our Church

Catechism Class – Praise God for the 45 catechumens who have signed up for this round of our membership class, starting next Sunday (30/8)! May the Lord help each of them grow in intimacy with Him, as they find their place and belonging in the Zion Bishan family. Thank God for 9 of our members who will also be table-hosting and befriending these 45 brothers and sisters in this journey!

Our People

Luke Ho – He leaves SG next Wednesday to start in a new role as staff at YWAM’s Foundation for Counselling Ministry in Lebanon. Thank God for His grace and favour in providing this opportunity for Luke to learn and discover more about God and how he can be serving Him. In the first few months especially, he requests prayer for good working relationships to be built as he settles in to a new environment and gets to know the people there. Pray also that God will establish his steps in the way ahead.

Our World

Myanmar – This past week, a ministry partner in Myanmar shared that though things on the surface in Myanmar seems life as normal, there is a heaviness and unease still simmering beneath what seems to be normal city life. Pray for those who are persevering in the gospel in this nation where civil conflict is deeply entrenched. May the grace of God provide the strength to persevere in love, and sharing of the gospel in this nation where 6-8% of the population are Christian (inclusive of Catholics).

Indonesia Trip (10-16 Aug) – Praise the Lord for a fruitful trip where team members have learnt much and are more keenly aware of the potential challenges of being His ambassadors in a closed part of the country. Pray for the continued well-being and needs of the long-term field workers and also their families as it is not easy to live cross-culturally. Pray for wisdom and favour in the next steps amongst the locals and the authorities, as they seek to continue building relationships with the local NGO there.
