We just returned from Bishan where a few of us met for our weekly Prayer meeting. We were blessed as we prayed for the church and its mission to the world. We prayed specially for the countries that are undergoing big challenges - North Korea facing a time uncertainty as leadership changes. We prayed for the Philippines affected by devastating floods and landslides. We focused our thoughts on the nation of Syria with its unrest and bloodshed. We prayed for Christchurch, New Zealand which have again been affected by earthquakes that have caused ground liquefaction and thousands of homes are full of sludge. Buildings have been damaged beyond hope of repair. Our Salvation Army Christchurch City Corps lost its building and our people meet at a school. Salvation Army Emergency services are providing emergency supplies and counselling services.
We prayed for our own territory of Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar. And we prayed for each other.
"Brethren, we shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer-meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians. To mix it up with the week-night lecture, and really make an end of it, is a sad sign of
declension." C H Spurgeon
"A congregation without a prayer meeting is essentially defective in its organization,and so must be limited in its efficiency." J. B. Johnston
