Week 4, Day 25
PERSONAL PRAYER
Read Luke 10:25–37
In receiving God’s love, we love Him with our ALL. In loving Him with our ALL, we love our neighbour. In loving our neighbour, we show care, compassion and kindness to them—even if they are strangers, or our enemies, or even if our own life is in danger.
Reflect
• Honestly, do you see yourself as the priest, Levite or Samaritan? Why?
• Re-read what the Samaritan did and note the extent of his compassion and kindness, e.g. sacrifice of money and time, suffering various inconveniences, and breaking of cultural taboos.
Pray
• Confess and repent as the Holy Spirit convicts you.
• Pray for a change of heart evidenced in action for yourself, then for God’s people.
WATCHMAN PRAYER
Mandarin Ministry (Bukit Panjang Centre)
Scripture
John 17:20–21
Our Dream
We dream that believers are empowered to be channels for Jesus’ mission — sent by the Father to be a blessing for humankind. In the Mandarin Ministry, our dream is focused
not only on the pre-believing parents of our English speaking members (blessing of family oneness), but also on a younger bilingual generation that might lead the future of Singapore (blessing of national unity).
We have yet to make a breakthrough in reaching the Mandarin-speaking Singaporeans.
We claim Jesus’ promise: “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one …” May the Lord continue to
blaze this vision in our present generation for the future of the nation.
Three Greatest Prayer Needs
1. The Lord will raise up visionary leaders for the future of the Mandarin Ministry.
2. The Lord will empower the people in the Mandarin Ministry to make a difference in
their lives regardless of social or educational status.
3. The Lord may impassion our English-speaking members to reach out to their prebelieving
Mandarin-speaking F.R.A.N.S.*
