Prayer

August

1.     In the midst of ongoing challenges, training work across East Asia continues to face pressures. Let us lift up each session before the Lord, asking for His covering and protection. May every teacher, student, and training site be shielded by His hand, and may each training be carried out smoothly to His glory.

2.     The new Philippians course has now entered the theological review stage. Pray that God will graciously guide this process, so that the final revisions may be completed with clarity and excellence. May the course be ready by year’s end, and in the coming year serve as a rich blessing to local churches and believers throughout the region.

3.     As the Philippians course nears completion, the East Asia editorial team is preparing to embark on the next project—the Amos course. Pray that the Lord will pour out wisdom upon both seasoned teachers and younger editors, enabling them to remain steadfast and focused over the next two to three years, so that this new course may be faithfully completed for the strengthening of God’s people.

4.     Our Old Testament series comprises six volumes (OT1–OT6). The first five have already been revised, and the final volume (OT6) has just begun its revision journey. Pray earnestly for senior editor NC, that the Lord will grant him wisdom from above and strength through the Spirit, so that he may finish this important work well and offer it as a gift to the church.

Pray for God’s protection over them, that He would shield them from danger and grant peace in uncertain circumstances.
