中信的禱告事工
江錦培牧師  總幹事

在中信眾多的福音事工中，有一項是較少提及的──禱告事工。每天早上，在各人準備埋首於辦公桌或投入前線服務之前，中信的同工分為兩人一組，同心禱告。

為讀者代禱
不少中信刊物的讀者來信分享他們的代禱事項和需要，如為親友的得救、疾病、婚姻問題、教養子女和找工作等，我們就會題名為他們代禱。

為宣教士代禱
中信差會的宣教士遍佈世界角落。我們保存印有相片的代禱卡，每天早上特定為其中一名宣教士祈禱。有些與我們素未謀面，有些是其他差會的宣教士，我們都定期把他們帶到施恩主的寶座前。

為中信事工代禱
我們每日把中信日常的事工帶到主面前，為溫哥華、卡加利和滿地可中信中心祈禱，亦在禱告中記念在溫哥華島或魁省遍遠地區巡迴佈道的小城服務隊。每月寄出《中信》月刊後，我們都會為每一期的刊物禱告，求主恩膏沛降，祝福每一個讀者的靈魂。

為中信同工代禱
無論同工是在辦公室作後勤支援，或負責前線的服務項目，或巡迴佈道，我們都彼此代禱，為各人的健康、家庭或教會獻上禱告，讓我們從中彼此激勵，更能同心事奉。

除了上述的事項外，我們經常為麗晶廣場的租戶和顧客、其他機構以及我們的國家祈禱。如果您需要代禱，請來信告知，我們必定在禱告中記念您。

Our Prayer Ministry
Rev. Edwin Kong  Executive Director

Of the many mission ministries at CCM, there is one that we seldom talk about. It is our prayer ministry. Each morning, our staff members meet together two by two for prayers before we start work behind our desks or up front in the Centre.

We pray for our subscribers
Magazine subscribers share with us their prayer requests for specific personal needs. They ask for prayer regarding the salvation of loved ones, illnesses, issues in their marriages, parenting concerns, job searches, etc. We pray for them by name according to their requests.

We pray for our missionaries
CCM's missionaries are scattered throughout the world. We keep prayer cards with their photographs and, each day, we pray for specific ones. Some of them we have not met before and some do not serve under CCM but we bring them all regularly before the throne of grace.

We pray for our ministries
We commit our daily ministries to the Lord. That includes our Vancouver centre, and our centres in Calgary and Montreal. We pray for our small town service teams that travel to rural areas from Vancouver Island to Quebec. When the "Chinese Today" magazines are mailed out each month, we commission each issue and seek anointing from the Lord to bless every soul that reads it.

We pray for each other
We pray for each other whether we are located at the back of the office, leading programs up front, or ministering on the road. We share our personal needs with each other including concerns about our health, our families, or issues in our respective churches. It binds us together and encourages us in the Lord.

In addition to the prayer items I've highlighted, we also pray regularly for the tenants and customers at The Crystal Mall, for other organisations, and for our country. If you have needs and would like us to remember you, please do not hesitate to write to us. We are committed to praying for you.
