  • Pray that the young people will be burdened for the salvation of their friends and for their Christian friends to enjoy the riches of Christ in the church life.

  • Pray that all the saints in the church would lift up their eyes to see the “white fields” in Irvine and be moved with compassion for the people here, praying that they would find the Lord and realize the meaning of their human life.
  • Pray that, like Hannah, the saints will pray to beget spiritual children who would be raised up to meet God’s need to have His kingdom among us today.

  • Pray for the Lord to give us a living message that will penetrate the hearts of the guests and cause them to have a strong, definite and dynamic salvation, so that they would begin a new life in Christ for God’s purpose.
