1. Thanksgiving to the Lord for the citywide gathering of the church in NYC this past Lord’s Day and prayer for the Lord to take the church on this year according to the three banners for the church in 2025:
• Numbering our days (Psa. 90:12)–That we all would learn to “number our days” and redeem the time so that every day would have eternal value before the Lord
• Magnifying Christ (Phil. 1:20)–That we all would magnify Christ in our daily lives
• Maturing in life (Col. 1:28-29)–That we all would grow in life daily unto maturity
2. The FTTA gospel trips–From January 23 to February 9, FTTA gospel teams are traveling to more than 30 cities on the east coast of the United States and 18 countries in Europe to join with local saints for the preaching of the gospel; let us pray:
a. That the Lord will fully cover the travel, safety, security, and health of all those involved
b. That the sanctifying Spirit will go before the saints to prepare the hearts of those the Lord has chosen, the sons of peace (Luke 10:6)
c. That remaining fruit will be borne and the Lord will add to the churches in each of these places
d. For the teams of trainees who are laboring in NYC, in Upstate NY and in New Jersey this week and next week
3. The saints in the church in Los Angeles and the community at large in the wake of the wildfires in the LA area; let us pray for the saints and the people of LA, and stand with the church in LA for their burden for the gospel at this time
4. The corporate truth pursuit this year in the book of Genesis which will begin next week
5. The Winter Retreat for all the young people in the church in NYC which will be held at Camp Penuel (KPCC) from February 16-18
6. The various needs of the saints both locally and in other localities (e.g. physical and emotional, health-related, job-related, family-related, etc.)
