prayer requests

  • New semester. Pray for our new and returning students to get connected with community groups and Bible studies.
  • Lunar New Year. They will be celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year with food and a Gospel message. Pray for their preparations.
  • Alana's two online Bible students from the Middle East. Both have requested prayers for healing and their family, especially during this time of unrest in the country. She has lost contact with one of the students and would like prayer to reconnect with them to resume their studies.
