Prayer points:

Thank God that HOA successfully registered with The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) on 11 Dec 2021. On 1 Feb 2022, we managed to rent 3 Jalan Melati and accepted our very first member on 21 Feb. Currently we have 4 co-workers and also 3 members who come for rehabilitation. May God use the ministry of HOA, by the power of the Gospel, to help those who are addicted and bound by drugs, to find hope in life through Christ.

1. Give thanks to God for establishing HOA, we pray HOA will follow the vision and mission of God to bless people and glorify His name.
2. Pray that the co-workers will serve with the right heart and motive, may the Lord bless them with unity in partnership, to minister and encourage members with the Word of the Lord and to journey with the members in the love of the Lord.
3. Pray for the 3 members who are receiving rehabilitation and discipleship at HOA; may the Lord grant them the desire and hunger to pursue God’s Word, to grow in their spiritual discipline.
4. Pray for the needs of HOA, may the Lord continues to provide (speakers, volunteers, finance, material needs) so that the ministry of HOA can continue to operate smoothly.
