OUTREACH MINISTRY

Outreach Prayer (June 2025)

Dearest friends and co-labourers of God, I greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Please pray along with me:

Dear Heavenly Father, this month we mark and celebrate Father’s Day on the 15th. We firstly want to give thanks for all the fathers in our midst, both the biological and spiritual fathers who have guided us and raised us. 

We pray a blessing for all the fathers in our church and in our community. May they be empowered to undertake the role of being the head of the household with confidence, leadership and faith, and may they rely on you, great Father for strength and sustenance. 

We also take this time to pray specifically for our migrant brothers who are working in Singapore, many of whom are fathers as well. You see the sacrifices they make to work and support their families and children back in their home countries. May you be their source of comfort and strength when they need. Protect them, oh Lord, from sicknesses and injuries.

Lord, we pray that You would provide them with a healthy support network to journey alongside them. And through these opportunities and the faithful work of volunteers, may they see Your love shining through and may You be glorified above all.

We would also like to pray for the newly appointed ministers in parliament. Even as they undertake their roles given to them, grant them wisdom to dispense their tasks well and for the betterment of the nation.

Grant them hearts that long for justice and righteousness to guide their decisions and actions. As it is written in your word in Micah 6:8, we pray that they will act justly, love mercy and walk humbly. 

Father, help us to live this day to the full, being true to You in everything we do. 

Jesus, help us to give ourselves away to others, showing kindness to everyone, we meet. 

Holy Spirit, help us to love the lost and to proclaim Christ in all that we do and say. 

We pray all this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
