FMC HOLY WEEK PRAYER STATIONS
“Through Whose Eyes: A Journey of Perspectives” That first Good Friday, there were many people present at Golgotha, watching while Jesus hung on the cross eight different groups, to be exact. What did they think of the crucifixion? How did it impact their lives?
Join this reflective journey based on Luke 23:33-49 to meditate on the death of Jesus from the perspective of those who were there.

David Lang
1. Care for Titus:
Titus is now unconscious most of the time. He is heavily sedated with four anti-seizure medications to control his convulsive seizures. Though unconscious, he still has many seizures. When they do not stop or recur repeatedly, we need to give him the “rescue” medicine. Formerly, we had to rush him to the hospital for the “rescue” medicine to be given intravenously. During his recent stay at NUH, the ICU team trained us to give the “rescue” medicine using an atomizer through the nose. In the last 2 weeks, we have had to give him the “rescue” medicine about 5 times.
Please pray that Titus’s seizure can be controlled and that he can be conscious without having convulsive seizures. Pray that Loo Geok, our helper from Myanmar, and I will have enough rest and strength to provide roundthe-clock care for Titus at home.
2. SBC- Teaching
Pray for effectiveness in David’s teaching and wisdom in his preparation of new courses. Next semester, in addition to teaching two courses on Christian Spirituality and a course on Critical Thinking, he will also be teaching a new course, "Doing Biblical Theology for the People of God," and is helping to develop courses to train church leaders in ministry to seniors.
3. Coming Preaching and Seminars
Pray for time and wisdom to prepare for sermons and seminars. He has monthly preaching engagements over the next four months and will conduct a series of talks on the Book of Revelation, as well as an outreach and apologetic seminar on why a Loving God allows suffering.
John Amalraj
1. Pray for John's PhD dissertation defense on April 29, 2025 to be successful.
