Weekly fellowship
International
- Pray that the speaking brothers would be covered during the week of the semiannual training so that they would be healthy and empowered in each part of their tripartite being and free from any kind of disturbance, in order for them to be soaked with the Lord’s word and fully mingled with Him in their speaking for the Lord.

- Pray for the new ones in each locality to continue to be fed and perfected under the shepherding of the saints, and pray for the Lord to continue to build the saints together in each locality, including doing a thorough blending of the local saints, the full-timers, the saints who recently migrated, and the saints visiting on shepherding trips.
- Pray that the Lord will raise up at least three new lampstands in 2025, and will eventually raise up new lampstands in Rouen, Lille, Versailles, Mertzig (Luxembourg), Geneva (Switzerland), Marseilles, Toulouse, Caen, Nantes, and Montpellier.

National
- Pray for social stability in Los Angeles and Southern California and throughout the United States amidst the current unrest.
- Pray for the Lord’s mercy on the people of this country, that they would be open to the gospel and the truths concerning God’s economy so that more could be rescued from the present evil age and participate in God’s building of the church as their practical salvation before the Lord’s return.
Local
- Pray that the children will continue to enjoy God’s word through Bible reading and singing with their families, and that what they heard in the Children’s Bible Camp will take deeper root in their hearts to help them develop a proper humanity and to love God.
- Pray for all the gospel friends, that strong connections will have been established so that the children can continue to participate in the children’s meetings among us and their parents can enter into the fellowship of the saints to come to salvation and enter into the church life.
- Pray that the young people will sanctify the rest of this summer and that, following the Summer School of Truth, they will let the word they received operate in them and experience God’s full salvation whatever they are doing and wherever they go.

- Pray that during the summer break the college students would continue to run the Christian race and remain in fellowship with the saints, whether in Irvine or in the locality where they spend their summer.
- Pray for the new ones who attended the recent gospel meetings (young people, English-speaking, Chinese-speaking, Korean-speaking), that the ones who received the Lord would be shepherded into the church life, and that in the ones not yet saved, the sanctifying Spirit would continue sweeping in their hearts.
- Pray that the saints will do the critical work of shepherding these ones, laboring out of a heart of intimate concern and by being vitalized with others who are blended together to bear remaining fruit in a corporate way.
The above are some of the current prayer burdens that the saints may bring to the Lord in their personal or corporate prayer; however, the saints should be exercised to follow the leading of the Spirit in their prayer.
