Prayer Request

Please pray for Pastor Tommy in Hong Kong who has taken on the pastoral leadership of RiverGrace Church following the retirement of Dave and Cindy Aufrance. Cindy writes that, “there are many challenges ahead with new legislation in Hong Kong that may affect churches and give cause for a large exodus of people from the city.” Please pray that Pastor Tommy would have godly wisdom to lead well in this difficult time. (1 Corinthians 1:25)
