The Heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
(Psalms 10:1-4)

Dear Father,

May all prayers, songs, works, languages, voices proclaim your Glory to the ends of the world.  Amen.

For Mission Fellowship:

• Thank you for bringing Lawrence and Brenda Cox to share their mission experiences among us. May their testimonies inspire ECC to be available for those who are in needs. Pray for the orphans in India. May these children be given the opportunity to grow both physically and spiritually under the Coxes' care
• Pray for the ministry in the slum areas. Pray that enough food can be raised to help those who are desperate for nutrition
• Pray for the Coxes' ministry in India. May God empower them with a clear communication with the holy spirit that they will take part in His divine plan for India. May God's glory be proclaimed in every part of India.

For Hubei:

• Volunteers/teachers be raised to support the various Hubei training programs from September to November. Pray for anointment from the Holy Spirit that God's plan be received clearly to those He has chosen to participate in this ministry
• Effective preparation of the pre-study in Hong Kong to support the Hubei training program
• Pray for hearts to be on fire at the Hubei local churches. May their leaders continue to thirst for the God's words and will apply what they gained from the training programs
• Pray for the hearts of ECC brothers and sisters as they recognize the divine duties of Mission and Outreach and will participate more in short term missions. May God's words be brought to the ends of the world through them

Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemy cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you, they sing praise to your name." - Psalm 66:2-4

Mission and Outreach Committee Retreat

On July 3rd, 2010 the MOC members met and spent the day to pray and read God's words as one body. We dedicated time for fellowship, discussions and prioritized our goals for this year.

• Praise the Lord for the amazing opportunity to be quiet in front of our Father to seek His will for ECC's mission ministry
• Praise God for a time of fellowship and relationship building, eventful and open discussions, affirming MOC's mandate to obey The Great Commission with brothers and sisters in Christ

Operation Boaz

Thank God for the opportunity to serve the local families. May God continue to strengthen those who have answered to His calling to serve the less privileged for one year

• Pray for the organization of future visits to these homes be effective that the love of Jesus is exemplified during these visits
• Pray for these families that their hearts will be ready to receive the good news
• Pray that spiritual obstacles be removed. For those who have committed to serve, may they stand strong against any temptations to yield their spirits

ECC Mission Weekends

(around Nov 20th-21st and 27th-28th, details to be announced soon)

Please pray for all aspects of preparations for speakers and MOC members

Mongolia Team is on final preparation before leaving in 2 weeks. There are some logistics issues that need your prayer coverage. Though they are smaller items, your prayers are just as significant to make sure that they won't hinder the trip.

For the team, please pray for:

1. Confirmation of air tickets for 2 members (still wait listed on one segment of the flights)
2. Smooth arrangements for all logistics and preparations
3. Health protection so the team can adjust well to the local climate and food
4. Good sunny weather during camp

For the Mongolian kids who will attend the camp:

1. They can experience JOY and the LOVE of Christ though the team will not be able to openly evangelize to them
2. Hearts will be touched and encouraged by the examples of the team

Most importantly, please pray for the spiritual health of the team. May God's grace bring unity to the team, from before, during to after the trip. Despite human plans and efforts, please pray for total submission to spiritual guidance. Through this trip, may fellowship be strengthened among ECC brothers and sisters.

May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge. Ruth 2.12

Please pray for a new outreach opportunity "Operation Boaz".

ECC MOC is partnering with Evangel Grace Church to support and reach out to new immigrant families. 20 ECC brothers and sisters have each committed to be the "Boaz" of a family for one year. They will weekly visit "their family" and be their Boaz, providing caring and services to these families who are in need of a community in this foreign culture.

Please be a "Prayerful Boaz" and support this ministry:

• Praise God for allowing ECC this opportunity to partner with Evangel Grace Church
• Praise God's spirit in mobilizing 20 volunteers from ECC to commit their lives to impact and serve the less privileged. May God's spirit guide and nurture the newly formed relationship. Let trust be established among the new immigrants and they will open their hearts and accept the volunteers into their lives
• Let opportunities be laid down for the gospel to be shared and received
• May the Holy Spirit empower the ECC volunteers to act in spirit and in truth
• When unfavorable situations arise, may the Lord's spirit cover the ECC volunteers so they won't be disheartened and will continue to serve to God's glory
