Prayer Ministry of the Church in Torrance (3/31/2026)
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 #86 of Life-study of Genesis.

2. For the European Brothers Training and International Blending Conference in London:
The spring European Brothers Training, a review of the recent ITERO messages by the leading ones in Europe, will take place at Woodland Camp on 1-3 April. This training will be followed by the International Blending Conference in London on 4-5 April.
Please pray for the release and receiving of the Lord’s word and for His hand to follow His word to accomplish whatever is in His heart.
3. For the 2026 Spring Junior High Sisters Conferences:
Our junior high brothers enjoyed their spring conference last weekend, March 27 to 29, at Oak Glen. This weekend, April 3 to 5, our junior high sisters will have theirs.
The topic is “The Precious Blood of Christ.”
Please pray:
* That our dear YP see the powerful effectiveness of the blood of Christ in dealing with their history of sin, and that such a living word release them from any accusation or lingering guilt in their conscience, that they may love and pursue the Lord in an unhindered way.
4. For the Shepherding of Seeking Ones after the Gospel trips in Italy:
Please pray for:
*The Lord to thrust out workers for ongoing shepherding trips in Italy. Saints are invited to come according to their availability, including longer trips over one month or shorter trips of one week or more.
*The beginning of the translation of the Italian New Testament Recovery Version this spring.
5. Please pray for sister Pauline:
*Our sister was scheduled to have an immigration hearing before a judge on 3/18/2026, but it was postponed until 4/22/2026.
It is a critical process that will determine whether she may continue to remain legally in the United States or face deportation.
*Please pray for God’s sovereign mercy to be over her case and for a positive outcome.
*Please pray that our sister would find favor before the judge in a way that is beneficial to the building up of the Body, for the sake of His divine interests—Christ, the kingdom of God, and the house of God—as she attends her asylum hearing.
*May the judge and all those involved be guided by the Spirit of God concerning our sister’s case.
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 Bible study at El Camino College:
Please pray that the Lord would bless the Bible study at El Camino College and gain some college students for His eternal purpose.
8. 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]
9. For The Truth Sets US Free (TSUF)
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” (John 8:32)
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…” (Gal. 5:1a)
It is evident that a spiritual seeking and hunger for the truth is increasing throughout the United States, especially among the younger generations. In 2026, two significant events in the United States will present a unique opportunity for preaching the gospel and distributing the NT Recovery Version: the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the FIFA World Cup matches. We have a marvelous opportunity to rise up and spread God’s interpreted Word to hungry seekers throughout North America.
This special time calls for a special response. The present burden is that as many saints as possible would rise up to pray, give, and go to participate in the Lord’s move this year. Our prayer and hope is that the Lord would blend the churches, vitalize the saints, and establish the Recovery Version as the definitive Bible translation read by believers in the US, thus preparing this country to be used by Him at the end of this age. May we all gain a taste for sharing the gospel and helping people know Christ and be set free by the truth!
10. For the Gospel preaching and Truth spreading in the Torrance area:
[John 15:5, 16] I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you.
*Please pray for the vitalization of all the saints and the carrying out of the God-ordained way to bear fruits for the increase and spread of Christ.
*Pray that the Lord would bless the contacting of people through gospel preaching and the distribution of Bibles with ministry books, resulting in the bearing of much remaining fruit.
*Pray that the Lord would bring many young working saints and couples for the raising up of the next generation.
11. For the saints who have lost their loved ones or are ill for the sake of His divine interests (Christ, the kingdom of God, and the house of God):
*Our dear sister Elsy Lopez passed away to be with the Lord last Lord’s Day.
Pray that the Lord will comfort brother Candie and the family in His abounding grace during this time of loss.
*Please pray for sister Norma Dumaliang, brother Kwang-Il Kim.
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.
