Prayer Items – Thai Good News Centre (TGNC)

Pray for Sis Kawee Fuangnoi our new Parish Worker IC of TGNC from September 1

  • The Lord’s enabling as she adjusts to her new role and responsibilities which include ministry and administrative work.
  • Good working relationship with and support from the TGNC Council.
  • The calling of a male co-worker who can reach out to construction workers and minister to male members

Pray for Sis Rosanna Hutagalung, former IC of TGNC, who retired in November 2024. Pray for a blessed and joyful retirement.

Pray for TGNC’s new location in Bedok Lutheran Church. Pray that members and staff will be blessed and the ministry will be fruitful from the new location, and that the Lord will help them to overcome challenges which the new location may present.

Pray for the regular ministries of the TGNC:

  • The outreach effort carried out every Tuesday and Wednesday with the distribution of Gospel tracts and sharing in public areas where Thais congregate.
  • Every Thursday and Friday visitation to members and young believers to pray, encourage, do Bible study (reading). These visits focus on inactive members, new contacts and friends from the former Golden Mile Complex stores who were open to the Gospel.

Pray for the several new people who have responded through these outreach efforts, a few of whom had indicated their intention to be baptized – that the Lord will grant and sustain faith in Christ in their hearts and lead them to baptism.

Pray for the planned evaluation of TGNC in March 2025 to assess if the ministry is sustainable in view of the available resources and changes in the demography of Thai immigrant workers in Singapore.

  • Songkran Festival (Thai New Year) – April 13, Sunday
