Activity: Breakfast & Prayer
Venue : Li Xin Baptist Church
Date : 14 Sept 2019, 8am
It was a Saturday morning like no other as English congregation members of Li Xin Baptist Church gathered for the "Breakfast and Prayer" program. Being more familiar with prayer retreats, a teaching on prayer after a light breakfast in the church was certainly unique. In total, 9 of us participated in this program.
The program started with a simple breakfast of roti canai, biscuits and hot drinks in the hazy weather. As we gathered around the table, we warmed our hearts and bellies with good food and fellowship. The objective of the program was for us to learn more about prayer and to pray.
Bro. Joash then led us in worship before the teaching session by Ps. Koe. Even though he had sore throat, Pastor's enthusiasm in teaching us about prayer was evident.
We learned about how Jesus himself viewed prayer as important, what postures would Christians pray in and different ways to pray in a group setting. It was a refreshing reminder on how prayer is to be a vital part of our Christian walk.
The session was also practical as we took turns speaking God's name in prayer, claiming His promises in prayer and even using Scriptures to pray. It was also encouraging to pray with other members and to see shy members open up to pray publicly. Members were also candid in sharing about what they thought about prayer and even quoting the Lord's Prayer from the Bible.
In the midst of learning about prayer, we also had the opportunity to pray for the nation, for the church and also our members before dismissing and adjourning for lunch.
