326 同心禁食禱告

國際基督教會3.26同心禁食禱告宣佈:
 
親愛的弟兄姊妹:
 
在這艱難、儆醒的時刻,希望弟兄姊妹們和家人也安好。
 
過去兩個月因為疫情的關係,各教區都繼續以不同的形式敬拜神和彼此相顧,更沒有停止熱心幫助別人查考聖經,甚至受洗歸信,仍然盡心盡力幫助身邊有需要的人,真的十分欣賞和為大家感到驕傲。我相信當一扇門被關上,神一定為我們打開另一扇門,讓我們在屬靈上有成長的機會和新的體驗。
 
相信大家也留意到,疫情正在世界各地蔓延,確診和死亡人數不斷增加,甚至有外國弟兄姊妹已經被確診感染,這的確是一個充滿挑戰的時刻,也是一個需要禱告依靠神的時候。
 
「你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神、因為他顧念你們。」~彼得前書 5:7
 
我們國際基督教會一眾傳道人,發起呼籲全世界弟兄姊妹參與一天的禁食禱告,在3月26日(星期四)凌晨開始一整天24小時內,我們會禁食和為世界禱告、為彼此禱告、為患病的禱告、為失去至親的禱告、為孤獨和害怕的禱告、為正在尋找神的禱告、也為努力不懈的醫護人員禱告,在這個世人都在尋求希望的時期,也禱告我們繼續作世上的光,讓基督的福音安慰這受傷的世界。
 
在3月26日,鼓勵我們可以有個人禱告的時間、也可以跟家人或弟兄姊妹一起網上禱告、甚至邀請朋友一起參與禱告,讓我們跟全世界屬神的弟兄姊妹在心靈上聯合起來,祈求我們天上充滿大能和愛心的神,在這艱難的時期賜下憐憫和拯救。
 
愛你們的

International Day of Prayer and Fasting on March 26th
 
Dear Brothers and Sisters –
 
May this note find you faithful and experiencing peace beyond the understanding of this unprecedented hour in which live. And, may the joy of knowing Jesus prevail deeply in our hearts and minds as we navigate this tumultuous time.
 
Ecclesiastes 3:1 tells us, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven... Given the events unfolding in our world at this time, it seems that now is a time to fast and now is a time to pray. From the men and women representing each of the regional families of churches across the world: We would like to invite all disciples to participate in a day of fasting and prayer on March 26th.
 
In one 24-hour period, from midnight to midnight on March 26th, we are asking disciples, our
family members, and all of our friends who are willing, to participate in a worldwide day of fasting and prayer. Just imagine, in this time of challenge, for a whole day, the whole world will be bathed in the prayers of disciples of Jesus. And, given the wonderful unity and expanse of our global fellowship, that means someone will be praying every second of that 24-hour time.
 
It really is a time to fast and lift up prayers to God. It is time to pray for each other, for those experiencing sickness, for those experiencing loss, for those who feel alone, for those who are afraid, and for those who are seeking God. It is a time to pray that we can truly be a light and that the good news of Jesus can be made known to a world searching for hope.
 
On March 26th let us prepare to pray in our personal time with God, let us connect online and pray with each other, and let us pull our children in and pray as families. Ultimately, let us prepare to fully put our hearts before our good and gracious Father and ask Him to be our refuge and our strength in this time of trouble.
 
We look forward to this time of connection. We look forward to hearing how God works as we pray to Him. May God give us all a fearless spirit at this time. May we experience the love of God and one another in the days ahead.
 
In Christ’s Love –
The Catalyst Team (on Behalf of the Regional Family Chairs)
