Prayer Ministry of the Church in Torrance (5/5/2026)
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 #91 of Life-study of Genesis.

Please pray:
1. For The Truth Sets US Free (TSUF) and Local Participation in Torrance area:
“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.
Please pray:
*That all the saints in Torrance would rise up and participate in His move through prayer and by going out to distribute the NT RcV Bibles and gospel tracts to local people and believers in the South Bay area.
*That we would preach the complete gospel to unbelievers and minister the deeper truths to seekers in our area as one team, regardless of language, in a blended way with strong one accord.
*That we would gain a taste for sharing the gospel, helping people know Christ, and helping them be set free by the truth.
2. The follow-up of the SoCal Sixth Grade Conference:
This past weekend, sixth graders from Southern California went to Oak Glen for the Sixth Grade Conference. The topic was “Where Are You?” with an emphasis on knowing one’s sinful condition before God, not hiding from God, the salvation of God, and entrance into the church.
Please pray that the Lord’s speaking continue to resonate and operate in all the young people who attended, that they have the assurance of their salvation, and that their hearts be the good earth for Christ as the kingdom seed to grow in them.
3. For the Conference in Rome, Italy with shepherding trips before and after: There will be a blending conference in Rome this weekend, May 9 to 10. Nearly 250 people will attend, including children and young people. The subject is “The All-Inclusive Christ as Revealed in Matthew.”
Please pray that the Lord’s present move in Italy will be advanced through this conference and through the shepherding trips.
4. For the memorial meeting for sister Delia Elsy:
The memorial meeting will be held this Saturday, May 9, at 11:00 AM at the Torrance meeting hall. Lunch will be provided afterward.
Please pray that the Lord will be glorified and testified in His resurrection life through the memorial meeting.
There will be Zoom meeting for this memorial meeting as follows:

5. For the BfA Korean Section:
Recently, through fellowship with the leading brothers in BfA (Bibles for America), the BfA Korean Section will be launched soon.
The BfA Korean Section will operate as an affiliate of BfA, like Bibles for New Zealand, Bibles for Europe, and Bibles for Canada under the same policies and principles of BfA. Their website is www.BiblesforAmerica.org/ko.
For your reference, there are currently more than 2.5 million Koreans in the United States.
*Please pray for the Lord’s blessing on the BfA Korean Section for the spread of His divine truths among Koreans in the United States.
*Please also pray that the Lord would meet all their practical needs, including financial need.
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 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.
