Let’s prepare our hearts for our Global Family Week in January 2024 and connect as a global family! #globalfamilyweek #transformingliveseverywhere #vision2030

Global Prayer

Let’s come united in prayer and fasting, HIM Family!  Let’s seek God afresh for the year of 2024. Let’s avail our hearts and lives like clay into the hands our God, the Master Potter (Jeremiah 18:1-7).   It is the Lord who transforms our lives wonderfully for His glory.  He is the Perfect Heavenly Father who knows how to best shape and transform us from within.  He intends for us to partner with Him and with one another to fulfil His mission of transforming lives everywhere. 

So, please join with the HIM Elders  as we seek God’s face together from 15th January 2024 over 5 consecutive nights.  Hop onto HIM Facebook page from 7.30 pm (GMT+8) and join us in prayer.  Each session will be recorded to enable others in HIM Family to join in later due to time differences. Let’s come prepared to prevail upon God in prayer!!

Blessings and praying with you,
Lai Lim
