Prayer Ministry of the Church in Torrance (6/23/2026)
Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, / I have appointed watchmen; / All day and all night / They will never keep silent. / You who remind Jehovah, / Do not be dumb;
And do not give Him quiet / Until He establishes / And until He makes Jerusalem / A praise in the earth. (Isa. 62:6-7)
Thus says Jehovah, / The Holy One of Israel and the One who formed him, / Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons, / And concerning the work of My hands, command Me. (Isa. 45:11)
Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock. (Ezek. 36:37)
** We suggest that we all read one Life-study message at the prayer meeting every Tuesday night before we begin to pray for the following prayer items. Tonight, let’s read Message #98 of Life-study of Genesis.

1. For the 2026 June Semiannual Training in Anaheim (June 29—July 4):
The June 2026 Semiannual Training will be held from June 29 to July 4, 2026, at the Ministry Conference Center in Living Stream Ministry Campus.
Subject: The Believers (1)
Please pray:
*For the speaking of the sevenfold intensified Spirit to all the churches in the recovery and for the saints’ response to the Spirit’s operation to intensify God’s organic salvation and build up the Lord’s bride for His soon return.
*For the Lord to bless all the preparations for the upcoming training and cover the travels of all the saints coming from overseas.
*For the speaking brothers to be fully covered and strengthened in their tripartite being, in order to be one with the Lord in their speaking.
2. For the graduates of FTTA and FTTA-MA (Middle-Age Full-time Training in Anaheim):
There will be graduation meetings this Saturday, June 27, at the Ministry Conference Center in Anaheim. There are 85 FTTA graduating trainees and 31 FTTA-MA graduating trainees.
Please pray:
*For all the graduating saints, that they would continue in God’s move for the building up of the Body of Christ and the preparation of the Bride after graduation by following the Lamb wherever He may go.
*For the Lord be magnified and glorified through their presentations, so that all who attend in person or watch online may be drawn afresh to love our Lord Jesus and run after Him.
3. For the 2026 FIFA World Cup Gospel Distributions:
In June and July, Los Angeles will host 8 matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The whole world will be at our doorstep as fans and visitors gather to watch. We believe that this is the sovereign arrangement of the Lord for us to go forth and preach the gospel to the nations (Matt. 28:19).
Our outreach will be focused primarily around World Cup fan festivals and watch parties, as these gatherings present the greatest opportunity for contacting those who are open to receive the gospel. Some of these gatherings are expected to be attended by tens of thousands of people.
Beginning last Thursday, June 11, many saints from the church in Los Angeles and some other churches in Southern California began to distribute NT Recovery Versions at various FIFA Fan Fests and gatherings.
Visit www.churchinlosangeles.org/gospel-opportunities for the invitation letter and latest information on distribution opportunities. We hope many saints will prayerfully consider joining us in this endeavor.
Please pray:
• For the Lord’s word to grow mightily and prevail (Acts 19:20).
• For the participating saints to be full of the Spirit, having a spirit of boldness to proclaim the Lord’s word and reach all kinds of people with the living word.
• For the enemy to be bound and his house to be plundered much during these days!
** The following is a letter from the church in Los Angeles:
Dear saints,
Here is a brief update regarding Bible distribution in LA during the last week. The Church in LA, along with Long Beach and some nearby localities, targeted local fanfests and watch parties as venues where we could distribute Bibles under the TSUF Banner. We’ve probably had just under 150 saints participate in at least one distribution event. For perhaps 30% of the saints, it is their first time (or first time in a while) doing such distributions. Even middle schoolers and young people (along with their parents) have participated and had a positive experience.
So far we have given away 1174 Bibles (894 English, 165 Spanish, 115 Korean) plus 183 Gospel of Johns in Spanish. Many tracts have also been distributed. Our focus has not just been handing out Bibles but having quality conversations with people in which we can feed them by reading at least one footnote to them.
One particularly encouraging statistic is that 76 people have signed up so far and indicated they would like further contact with us. We are following up with them right away to connect with them for fellowship. May the Lord anoint the follow-up and gain some of these for His purpose!
We have a few more distribution events planned for the upcoming weeks. Please continue to pray for this!
4. For the Short-term shepherding trips and migrations to French-speaking Europe:
Please pray:
1) That the Lord will raise up lampstands in Rouen, Versailles, Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), Geneva (Switzerland), Marseilles, Caen, Nante, and Montpellier.
2) That the Lord will increase the team of full-time serving ones in Paris to take care of the Lord’s needs throughout French-speaking Europe. Please pray for the release of long stay visas for these saints.
3) That many students, families, and mature saints will migrate to France within the next several years for the Lord’s interest.
5. For the Bibles for America:
The following is from the Bibles for America 2025 Annual Report.
There was a significant rise in Bible orders in the latter half of 2025 and we sense deeply that the Lord is moving in a fresh and powerful way in the United States. We distributed over 205,000 Bibles and 41,000 physical books in this country, while our digital content reached over one million people in 192 countries. We have ordered 525,000 English and 25,000 Spanish Recovery Version NTs for 2026.
In 2025, we made a concerted effort to improve our outreach on social media channels by posting more frequently with content specifically designed for these platforms. Our eyes remain upon the Lord, the One who is on the throne and sovereignly ruling over every situation. We believe that all things are being arranged for the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom, that many might be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth.
We ask for your continued prayer, fellowship, and practical support.
Pray specifically:
*For the Lord to increase the hunger for His word.
*That many be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth.
*For more saints to participate in the gospel and truth distribution.
* For the bountiful supply spiritually and practically to all who are involved.
6. For the Young People’s Service/Meeting in Torrance:
We should pay particular attention to the young people in our work in each locality. Today Satan’s organizations and philosophies pay particular attention to young people. Can we not infer that God is paying attention to young people as well? This does not mean that the souls of older people are not precious in God’s eyes, but it does mean that for the sake of God’s work and for the future of the gospel, there is more hope with the young people. Our gospel work should place special emphasis on high school and college students. We should spend and pour out our all to save, cultivate, edify, and lead these young ones. (The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. 55, p. 49)
* Please pray that more saints would rise up and take the burden to pray for and shepherd the young people.
* Please pray that our current young people would be properly cared for in life and in truth, so that they may become the loving seekers of Christ in this evil age.
*Please pray that the Lord would bless the YP service and meetings in Torrance to raise up the next generation for His eternal economy.
7. For the resumption of the campus work at CSUDH (California State University, Dominguez Hills):
Please pray that the Lord would open a clear and effectual door for the resumption of the campus work at CSUDH, preparing the interceding ones, serving ones, the environment, the administration, and the students’ hearts for His move on the campus.
“Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest that He would thrust out workers into His harvest.” [Matthew 9:38]
8. For the saints who have lost their loved ones or are ill for the sake of His divine interests (The all-inclusive Christ, the Kingdom of God, and the House of God):
Please pray that the Lord, the true Physician, would care for the sick saints and grant them healing through His all-sufficient grace, that they may experience and enjoy more of Christ throughout every medical procedure for His divine interests.
