Prayer Ministry of the Church in Torrance (7/7/2026)
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 #99 of Life-study of Genesis.
Please pray:

Please pray:
• That the living words of the present truth released during the training would operate mightily in all the saints.
• That we all would grow in the divine life unto maturity so that we may be the reality of all the symbols and statuses of the believers: the Wheat of Life, the Good Seed, the Salt of the Earth, the Light of the World, the Fishers of Men, the Heirs of God, the Living Stones, the Sheep, the Vessels of Mercy unto Honor and Glory, the Branches of the Vine, the Stars, the Man-child, the Firstfruits, the Harvest, and the Jasper and Other Precious Stones, becoming His mature Bride to defeat His enemy and fully accomplish God’s eternal purpose.
2. For the Southwest College Training:
The Southwest College Training will take place July 8 to 12 at Oak Glen. Around 340 saints, including around 240 students, will be attending.
The topic is “Faithful Witnesses of Christ.”
Please pray:
• For the Lord’s fresh and personal appearing to each student so that they can be His witnesses to shine Him forth on their campuses.
• For the Lord to operate powerfully in each student so that they will not remain the same, but will consecrate themselves to the Lord for His purpose.
• For the sweet fellowship and blending among students and serving ones from many localities.
• For the enemy to be bound and have no ground to frustrate the training in any way, including sickness, practical services, travel, and atmosphere.
3. For the 2026 FIFA World Cup Gospel Distributions:
Beginning 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!
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.
