團  契 Fellowship

(約壹1 John 1:1-3) “論到從起初原有的生命之道,就是我們所聽見所看見,親眼看過,親手摸過的。這生命已經顯現出來,我們也看見過,現在又作見證,將原與父同在,且顯現與我們那永遠的生命,傳給你們。我們將所看見所聽見的,傳給你們,使你們與我們相交。我們乃是與父並他兒子耶穌基督相交的。That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.  We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.”

(Matthew 18: 20) “因為無論在那裏,有兩三個人奉我的名聚會,那裏就有我在他們中間。For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”

(John 15:4,5) “你們要常在我裏面,我也常在你們裏面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上,自己就不能結果子。你們若不常在我裏面,也是這樣。我是葡萄樹,你們是枝子。常在我裏面的,我也常在他裏面,這人就多結果子。因為離了我,你們就不能作什麼。Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

1.  很多經常參加週日崇拜的教會會友還沒有參加團契。求神帶領中文堂和英文堂的弟兄姐妹更積極的參與團契,並藉著團契建造靈命,和神更親近。Many of our church members who regularly attend on Sunday mornings are not involved in a fellowship group. Pray that more people in both Chinese and living water congregations would be more actively committed to growing and seeking god in this way

2.  求神興起更多的弟兄姐妹在團契裏面與神同工,一同服事。Pray that we would see more brothers and sisters step up to take leadership roles in their respective fellowship groups.

3.  特別為英文堂Transitions團契禱告,求神興起年輕的弟兄姐妹共同在神的話語裏成長。Pray specifically for the English young adult fellowship group (Transitions) as the fall semester starts - pray that God would raise up men and women who desire to meet together and grow in their faith.

4.  求神大大使用每個團契,成為拓展他國度的器皿,通過團契活動把福音傳出去。Pray that God will use each fellowship as an instrument to spread the Gospel through all kinds of activities.

5.  求神特別恩待校園團契(信望愛,迦南,佳友)在新學年開始時代領更多的福音朋友,並供給所需的同工和資源。Pray that God’s grace be with campus fellowships (Faith, Hope and Love, Canaan and Good Friend fellowships), providing them with resources so that they could outreach more seeker friends in the beginning of new semester.
