Chinese Ministries:
一、2024年教会的主题是：在基督的生命中生根建造，教会会提供一本灵修手册让弟兄姐妹每一天的读经和祷告来建造自己的属灵生命。求主透过祂自己的话语和祷告，帮助弟兄姐妹在祂里面成长。
We pray for the theme for 2024: Rooted in Christ, Building our lives. As BLC Chinese would be producing a devotional for congregants to read and pray through daily as part of their spiritual formation, through his Word, pray that God would nurture our hearts to maturity.
二、为牧师、会吏和执事们能一起同心配搭服事，使教会能在神的恩典中 起来祷告。也为在5月12日教会年议会之前，要推举新的执事来祷告，求主为教会预备领袖。
We pray for the Pastors, Deacons, and Council to be united as one in service, that empowered by the grace of God, the church may flourish in love and service. Also, pray that God will raise new leaders to join the Council, and that as we approach them, they will answer the call before the AGM on 12th May 2024.
三、为2024年教会所要推行的计划和事工祷告，愿在上帝的恩典中，各事工和所计划的各项工作都能顺利进行，得到弟兄姐妹热烈的参与，并使他们的生命越来越有基督的样式和形象。
We pray for the different ministry plans for 2024, that God in his grace, will see to the completion of the various activities and plans for the church. Pray that the congregants would actively support the activities, and through participation in the activities, have Christ formed in their hearts.
