Prayer Requests
For Our Speakers and Message Preparation:
The messages for each plenary session are entering the final stages of refinement, while our speakers continue to prepare and adjust amid their own demanding ministries.
- Pray that the Lord would protect our speakers in body, mind, and spirit, granting them strength and stillness even in weariness.
- Pray that the Lord would guide the shaping and focusing of each message, so that the overall content resonates together and moves in a unified direction.
- Pray that throughout their preparation, our speakers would remain attentive to the Spirit’s leading, rather than focusing only on finishing their content.
For the Affinity Groups and Their Leaders:
Beginning in May, we are inviting the leaders of the Affinity Groups one by one, and engaging with each group to discuss and confirm content and direction. Coming from diverse fields and contexts, these leaders will shepherd meaningful conversations and walk alongside participants.
- Pray that the Lord would grant wisdom and grace, enabling each group leader to cultivate genuine and meaningful conversation.
- Pray that the Lord would shape the direction and content of each group, so that it truly responds to the needs of the participants.
- Pray that the leaders would do more than share their experiences—that they would shepherd and build one another up.
For Production and Event Logistics:
Production for the Congress has entered the sprint stage. Program content, venue planning, production materials, and on-site arrangements are all being intensively confirmed and integrated. As the timeline tightens, our team is simultaneously navigating a vast number of details, last-minute adjustments, and cross-team coordination, and the overall pressure continues to rise.
- Pray that the Lord would protect our team, giving them clarity and patience in the midst of busyness.
- Pray that the Lord would enable smoother collaboration and communication across all teams.
- Pray that the Lord would guard each aspect of production and event preparation, minimizing oversights and confusion.
For Our Volunteers and Service Teams:
Translation volunteers and media coverage volunteers from around the world, together with our local service teams, are now entering training and role preparation as they get ready for the Congress.
- Pray that the Lord would help every volunteer serve with a posture of worship, rather than merely as a task to be completed.
- Pray that the Lord would build unity and mutual support within the teams.
- Pray that the Lord would use every one of those serving, allowing them to be renewed by His Spirit in the very act of serving.
