“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous ligjt.” (1 Peter 2:9)
We are now doing video intros for the Prayer Guide! To watch this month’s Prayer intro, click here.
Let us pray for all our EFCC Districts:
Kelvin Luong – CD Co-Superintendent
Praise God for leading Compass Community through its first year as a church plant. Thank God for Pastor Kelvin’s leadership as he is ordained as their lead pastor. Pray for five churches in the GTA currently looking for a lead pastor. For the Iranian Church of Richmond Hill. Pray that the church will find effective ways to minister to the influx of muslim immigrants and refugees. Pray for an open door to plant a new church in Barrie, ON, about an hour drive north of GTA.
George Budd – Interim PD Superintendent
Pray for George Budd as Interim Superintendent as he juggles his role as District Superintendent with the other ministry and occupation hats he wears. The calendar can get very confusing at times. Pray for the District Superintendent Search as the Board talks with a Candidate and that Candidate seeks the leading of the Holy Spirit about filling this role for the District.
Marvin Penner – APD Superintendent
We in the APD thank the Lord for the faithful service of a number of our board members who have faithfully served the district. Pray for the APD nomination committee as they seek four new board members. Also, pray for the APD annual conference on October 24 and 25. Pray that God would lead us together to be on mission to reach north and central Alberta with the gospel. God has been doing things with buildings in the Alberta Parkland District. Coronation is in the final stages of construction of their church building after it was burned down. Cleardale Gospel Chapel has begun an addition that will allow them to all fit in the church and serve their community better. Bon Accord EFC is in negotiations to possibly buy the building they have been renting. Erskine EFC has just completed phase one of their building expansion and improvement. Pray for unity in these churches and that God will use these physical structures to build His eternal kingdom.
Dan Carlaw – CPD Superintendent
As we head into the season of Thanksgiving, pray that our CPD churches would grow in our awareness of God’s goodness and grace, despite outward circumstances. Pray that expressions of thanksgiving to God will grow far beyond the Canadian holiday. Please pray for the churches still looking for pastors: Goodlow EFC, Grace Community Church in Whitehorse, YT, and Sage Hills EFC in Ashcroft.
