I will start, feel free to add in any other items (including praises)
at anytime, the point is to keep the prayer fire burning.

1) continue to pray for Chengcheng, he had red eye again; pray for
Xiaoming and Cheng, Xuan as well, they both had flu last week;

2) This week's featured kid will be Aaron, he is now traveling with
mommy (Gao, Ying) and daddy (Xiaohua) in China. They are scheduled to
be back next week. Pray for health, a good trip and opportunities to
spread the gospel to friends and relatives.


Have a blessed day,

Johnnymom

Dear Johnny mom and all the moms,
 
How wonderful and what a great privilege that God has given us this right to pray to Him and He promised to listen to our prayers. Through praying for each other we support each other in His Love. Now our church is facing a big challenge -  the challenge of praying in faith so that His will may be done among us and through us. As brother Yu shared in his Sunday message that God wants every and each one of us to rise up and pray for His church, His will. So let us pray first for our church before we pray for our personal needs.
 
May the Lord richly bless all of us and grant all that we need when we seek His kingdom first.
 
Danielle

project to be completed on time;

Thanks, Jonny mom. Let's pray. I'll put Jasmine in sleep now so that I can pray. :-)

"So let us pray first for our church before we pray for our personal
needs."

不完全同意。我个人的经历是,我得先藉着祷告把自己所挂虑的鸡毛蒜皮事一一交托以后,才能专心为了教会的需要带求。

当我们为弟兄姐妹们个人的需要祷告时,当我们把自己的需要带到弟兄姐妹中间请求代祷时,这就是我们信心的见证。因为我们相信神的存在和主权。这也是教会
的实际--教会就是基督的身体。我们彼此互为肢体。爱弟兄姐妹就是爱教会的体现。教会不是外面的建筑物,教会的建造是我们这些软弱的人,学习靠着基督在
生活上得胜。

我想,只要我们心里有担心挂虑的事,都可以带到主面前来倾诉,他不会因为我们挂虑的是吃喝拉撒睡的事情而轻看我们。他是我们的父亲,他是我们困难中的帮
助,担心时的平安。 他是又真又活的神,吃喝拉撒睡他都管,宇宙历史国际大事他也管。当我们在鸡毛蒜皮的小事上学习了交托,学习了信任,我们的信心就越
来越长大。

一切带到主恩座前求。

关于教会的需要,这里我们可以特别地为与孩子们有关的方面来祷告。比如,

教会有需要,我还要不要给孩子存钱上大学?

孩子有拉肚子,夫妻有拌嘴,教会有服事,到底先顾哪一件事?

新建的儿童主日学教室和婴儿室,教室的布置,孩子们的安全,服事的安排。。。

Feng is always so direct and 可爱。:-)
我想在祷告的时候无分先后,顺着圣灵的带领和内心的感动,真挚(a sincere heart) 才是天父所要的。但我们祷告越多,蒙垂听的经历越
多,就会越摸着父的心,为教会祷告也是顺理成章。不知道 这么说会不会引起误会,我在想其实个人需要和教会需要不存在轻重和先后。神的意思总是要我们的
心归他。不管祷告什么,只要结果是我们与神更亲近,都是好的。我也喜欢what a privilege it is to bring
everything to God in prayer.

Let's pray.

God cares if we care about what he cares, He cares if we are after His will and fight the battle together with him when He is calling on us to do so.
Just in case any of the moms is not on the church alias, below please see brother Maa's email regarding an urgent prayer request.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear all,

We need to respond to the urgent call to enter the sanctuary in readiness in all areas. Praying and offering in love and in faith is greatly needed these days since we are separated for Him and His will done among us.

We didn't meet a payment due date for one of invoices last week. We are still short of ~$18,000 as of today. And we need to pay off $1,000,000 by 4/30. Contractor has been very concerned about our ability of payment and is losing patience recently. He is threatening to shut down site work if we don't pay in time. I'm asking brothers and sisters to join prayer meeting tomorrow to call upon the Lord to rule over all matters in front of us and provide all our need in time. THERE IS NO TIME TO LOSE. This is all about God's testimony. Please pass the burden if you know someone who is not getting this message.

I had opportunities to meet some youth this afternoon sharing the burden with them and everyone of them responded. Let's come before the Lord in one accord.

Prayer meeting starts at 7:30 and please try your best to be on time.

In Christ,

bro. Maa

怎么为教会的需要祷告呢?
当了两周的Catepillar 老师,又当了一次Ladybug的helper, 一个月下来,只参加了一次主日聚会。可能与教会的情况有些脱节。不
过,我想神是不偏待人的,这三周又没有去赌场吃喝玩乐,还是在神的家里做正经事。我就想,神的恩典应该够我用吧,神的心意一定会让我知道的。

这里,我的心情有些灰暗,因为在服事儿童的姐妹们往往是被大家遗忘的人,给人一种落后的感觉。若不是努力地打听,就不知道教会里的大事。有些报告也没有
录音, 即使在网上补听了信息,还是有些局外人的茫然。

本来有小孩子,参加教会的活动就有一定的难度,心中常有一些frustration。我心里惦记的吃喝拉撒的事,教会不关心。教会的宏伟大事,我也跟不
上。所以我常想,先求神的国和神的义是什么意思呢?

什么是神的国呢? 是教会的活动吗?是雄伟的建筑物吗?

我想,对与每个人来说,神的国就是神掌权的地方。这个国从心里开始。把心交给神,是神的国的开始。

属灵的争战,战场在哪里呢? 在教会的地土吗?是的,教会建造会所是与世界争地土,争主权的争战。可是,在我们每个人的心里,也时时刻刻是活生生的战
场。无论是担忧,沮丧,焦急,悔恨,恐惧,控告。。。

耶稣说,“我的国不属这世界。”“My kingdom is not of this world.”
所以,属灵的争战不是地土和建筑物,不是3百万美元,而是神是否在人心里得主权。

为什么我们没有足够的钱呢?为什么有的人能奉献那么多,有的人却连十一奉献也做不到呢? 为什么有的人能为主献出一生的生命,有的人却不能呢?

教会的需要是什么呢? 是金钱吗?我们该如何祷告呢?是要请神送来几个大财主吗?

神到底在乎的是什么呢?

这两周在看“Lord of the Rings"。 当人类在与黑暗的势力刀光剑影地争战的时候,小小的Hobbit并没有参与血肉模糊的肉搏
战,Frodo所经历的是心灵上的争战,与自私,与权力欲望的争战。

所以,我们的争战不是在外面,而是在里面。当我们把更多的主权交给神的时候,我们教会的整体就在得胜。当我们弟兄姐妹真切相爱的时候,魔鬼在人心中的影
响就要动摇。所以,我想,我们不应该小看自己每一个小小的祷告,无论是为了自己,还是为了自己的先生,孩子,或是为了弟兄姐妹的需要。

说实在的,我们有什么可以给神的呢? 我们有什么可以服事神的地方呢?

就象以色列人站在红海边,我是该拿锅还是拿瓢去舀红海的水呢?

就象以色列人站在红海边,我是该拿锅还是拿瓢去舀红海的水呢?
或是请神送来几个水利工程师?

我想神给每个人的托付和恩赐都不同。带小朋友有时候是会让人觉得被遗忘,落后分子的感觉。但我想我们在他们身上的任何一点点付出,一点点爱,一点点教
导,在神眼中不必那些更显露在人前的服事小。主耶稣自己还在百忙中曾经停下来,说让小孩子到我这里来,因为天国是属于他们的。不管做什么,只要存着喜乐
的心,没有grudge, 都该是蒙神纪念的吧。Lawrence 弟兄,盖恩夫人,他们的“宏伟事迹“在哪里呢?可是神与他们同在,在厨房里扫地一样
感觉如天堂。还有一点想说的是,在我们知道爱神以先,他就先爱了我们。

以色列人站在红海边的例子很有意思。也可能是我们遇到困难的第一反应,可是神的解决方法出乎众人的意料,以色列人什么也没有做,他们只是向父呼求,事就
这样成了。
