2021 禱告之夏

親愛的弟兄姊妹:
禱告是上帝賜給祂的孩子最偉大的禮物之一。啟示錄五章8節告訴我們,我們的禱告如香升到上帝面前。上帝聽見我們的禱告,祂也回應我們的禱告。
7月份和8月份當我跟師母在美國時,我想邀請你跟我們一起來為這個世界、為台灣、為我們的大學、為我們教會、為自己來禱告。每天晚上9點鐘,我們在美國是早上8點,讓我們分別出10分鐘的時間來,每天我會發一段短短的禱告詞,你可以大聲唸出來或默禱都可以。然後你可以繼續將自己的感謝和祈求帶到上帝面前。這樣,雖然我們沒辦法實體聚在一起,但我們可以在靈裡同在,我知道上帝會看我們就像是在同一個地方一起禱告。祂會垂聽我們的禱告,祂也會按著祂完美的良善和智慧來回應我們所有的禱告。
邀請你和我一起禱告!
柯達文牧師 敬上

 Dear brothers and sisters,
Prayer is one of God’s greatest gifts to his children. Revelation 5:8 tells us that our prayers are offered before God as fragrant incense. He hears them, and he responds to them.
In the month of July, when Lisa and I will be in America, I would like to ask all of you to join your hearts with ours in prayer for the world, Taiwan, our university, our church, and ourselves. At 9:00 each evening (for Lisa and me, 8:00 in the morning), let us all devote ten minutes to prayer Each day I will send out a prayer I have written. You may read it aloud if you desire. Then you may continue bringing God your own thanksgiving and requests. Although we cannot be together in person, we can be together in spirit. God will see us as if we were praying together in one place. He will hear our prayers. He will answer in accordance with his perfect goodness and wisdom.
Please join me in prayer!
Pastor David
