Hi, Welcome to MCI

Welcome, Witness and Wonder.

the Almighty God and will experience a deeper touch
of His love! If you are our GUEST, please feel free to speak with our iWelcome
hosts, Ms Cindy Wong or Mr Kendrick Chua to learn more about our ministry
such as Sunday School, Cell Group Ministry, Prayer etc...
2. Prayer Concerns
a. Praise God for the promise of His favor on all who walked uprightly
(Psalm 84:11). Let’s encourage each other to walk in the steps of Jesus our
Lord.
b. Praise God for the sacrifice of worship in terms of funds raised in our
recent WE 2014. May we continue to give our best to our Lord in worship
and service. May all be challenged to reach out via Micah 6:8
Engagements,
c. Pray for our preparations for the celebration of Advent and Christmas
2014. May we continue to look forward to the commemoration of the birth
of Christ our Lord, the Saviour of the world.
d. Pray for Missions trips to West Malaysia (Rumah Faith), Fujian (Teaching
English) and Sibu (Women’s Conference). May the Lord equip our people
for these missions trips.
e. Continue to pray for all who are going through difficult trials. May the
Lord raise faith among us and declare that He is indeed the Sovereign
Lord of us all!
f. May the Lord restore peace and bring about reconciliation among
different groups of people in countries such as Syria, Israel, Indonesia,
Hong Kong etc…
