*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on Hosanna Staff, Officers, and Hosanna Intercessory Prayer (HIP) ministry
 
Scripture:
 
So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church. (ACTS 12:5)
 
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (PHILIPPIANS 4:6)
 
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints (EPHESIANS 6:18)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, as the earliest followers of Christ kept earnestly praying for Peter in prison, may Hosanna be a church where earnest prayer is unceasingly offered to intercede for one another with prayer. Let us not seek to just unload prayer requests on You, but seek prayer that bears the fruit of repentance, obedience, as You, Father God, unload Your grace, mercy, peace, and love in Jesus Christ upon us, so that we may transform our ways into Your ways, and our thoughts into Your thoughts. In prayer, let us not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication stir up in us a thankful heart, letting our requests be made known to You but never seeking an answer that revolves only around us. Just as Jesus taught us how to pray through the Lord’s prayer and showed us His prayerful life with tears, with a thankful heart, with full dependence upon Father and Spirit, with the power that unleashed the miraculous signs and wonders, the fullness of faith and obedience to death, even death on a cross – let our prayers ultimately leave us in our knees, more surrendered to You, denying ourselves, in deeper love with Your only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. At all times, may we pray in the Spirit, keeping alert with all perseverance, interceding on behalf of all the saints. Today we intercede for our Pastor, for our Minister Chao, for Director Trey, Rachel & Ashley serving the children. We intercede for Elder Patrick, Elder Nara, Reserve Elder Heather, for the search for our 3rd Elder to complete the Session, for our Deacons Waywah & Gloria, Chong, Jonathan, Juhae, all the lay servants leaders and our Hosanna Intercessory Prayer team. Make these names as precious to us as the Twelve disciples were to Christ. May they be prayerful backbones of Your body of Hosanna. Thank You for our new visiting friends last Sunday, Michael & Hailey. Continue flourishing our 9:30am breakfast fellowship. Help us come on-time to worship. Give inspiring reflections on Your Word in our breakout discussion groups today, and fill our stomachs not only with food today but with the living Bread of life. Bless the hands of all our table/chairs setup and cleanup servants today and a final time next week. Bless the Agape life group gathering this Saturday. Continue growing our newborn sister Selene in strength, wisdom, stature, in favor with You, alongside all the three precious lives being knit together in the womb – Baby Park, Baby Jeng, Baby Chao. Heal the ill & sick among us. Provide for those who have lost jobs with new flourishing work. Strength our marriages with deeper affections and intimacy in Christ. Provide our singles with a godly spouse in purity and undivided devotion in singleness, as You call them. Earnestly we pray in the risen and powerful name of our Prayer Teacher and High Priest, always living to prayerfully intercede for us at the right hand of the Father’s throne – Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & Amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on the Breaking of Bread Ministry
 
Scripture:
 
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. (ACTS 2:42)
 
And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. (ACTS 2:46-47)
 
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. (MALACHI 3:10)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, Easter may have passed, but remind us every Sunday is the Third Day to memorialize the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and causes us to walk in the newness of life in His Name. A mark of that risen life You have gifted to us is in the breaking of bread together. We are not here together just to fill our stomachs with the bread that perishes, but to feed and serve Your people with the living Bread of eternal life. Father God, bless Hosanna’s breaking of bread together. Give us a vision of Your people around Your Table of communion. May all who are thirsty come to drink of Christ’s fountain to never thirst again. May all who are hunger, hunger for righteousness and eat the Bread of life Jesus Christ. May no soul be left hungry at Your Table as we devote to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Day by day, week by day, let us attend Your temple together and break bread together, receiving the food of Your Word and fellowship with glad and generous hearts, praising You and having favor with all people. Then add to this number of Hosanna day by day those who are being saved. Bring all the full tithe of Your people into Your House, that there may be food in Your house. Let us put You to the test with our sacred giving of tithes, and see if You will not open the windows of heaven for us and pour down a blessing until there is no more need. Feed this precious Church, Father God, with Your faithful servants. Today, provide an overflow of servants signing-up to bless the VBS children. Continue to flourish our 9:30am breakfast fellowship. Give inspiring reflections on Your living Bread, the Word of God, in our breakout discussion groups. Bless the hands of all our table/chairs setup and cleanup servants. Bless brother Daniel’s birthday with Your joy this Saturday. Bless the servants laboring on setting up tables/chairs this Saturday and cleaning up next Sunday. Bless the James families life group this Saturday. Thank You for the first visit of our little sister Selene last week – continue to grow to full health, strength, wisdom, stature, and favor with You. Continue growing all the precious life being knit together in the womb. Provide for those who have lost their jobs with new and flourishing work opportunities. Heal those sick and ill among us to be with us again. Bless all the marriages in greater intimate love in Jesus Christ. Bless our singles with undivided devotion to You and a godly spouse in purity, as You call them. Bless our sister Emilee Gee and all the confirmands & baptized members with new seasons of desiring You, serving You, and knowing You. Through the Bread of Life, the Head of the body of His Church, our risen Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen & Amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on Easter Resurrection Sunday
 
Scripture:
 
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (JOHN 11:25-26)
 
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures (1 CORINTHIANS 15:3-4)
 
And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. (LUKE 24:5-6)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up this holy day of Easter Resurrection, on the third day where You raised up Your only Son our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead into an immortal body, retaining His nail-scared hands and pierced side, yet now a glorified physical body devoid of deterioration, pain, illness, physical limits, and above all, mortal death. Likened to this body, You will gift to us at the last day, where we will be with Christ in glory. Thank You for the gospel of resurrection, to truly come back from the dead and never to die again. Although we shall all face death at the appointed time, Lord Jesus You are the resurrection and the life. whoever believes in You, though he die, he shall still live, and everyone who lives and believes in You will never die. Let this be of first importance to us, to receive it as the apostle Paul did, that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and was raised on the third day all according to the Scriptures. Today, let us all come out of our tombs, and not seek the living Christ of glory among the dead on earth. He is not here in the grave, but has risen. So raise us up with Christ today out of our tombs, our former ways of life that are dead in our trespasses. Raise us up from our death into the new resurrected life in the ways of Your Holy Spirit, to be born again into this blessed living hope of Christ’s resurrection and our resurrection at the last day. On this joyous Easter day, Bless our precious Hosanna, our 9:30am breakfast fellowship with discipleship friendships. Bless the servants who labored in love at 10am to setup fellowship activities. Bless all our children and youth in joint worship today. Bless our sister Emilee Gee receiving your Confirmation of Faith gifted by Your Spirit in her today. Bless our holy communion, from infant to adult, to behold Christ at His Table today. Bless our breaking of bread with godly reflections on Easter today. Bless our sister Mya’s birthday this Tuesday. Bless the kitchen food prep ministry this Saturday, the tables/chairs setup team with Deacon Jonathan, the Agape & James life family gatherings.

*GOOD FRIDAY KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – Good Friday & Easter 2026 


Scripture:
 
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 PETER 2:24)
 
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. (ISAIAH 53:5)
 
And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise.” (MARK 10:34)
 

Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, for You so loved the world, You gave Your only Son, so that the many to be made righteous, who trust in dependence upon Jesus Christ will not perish but have everlasting life. On this very good night, death and gore are not the glory of this day, but life and reconciling peace achieved by the perfect obedience and sacrifice of the perfect Passover Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, Christ Jesus, who presented to You, Father God, a bride – Your Church – without blemish, cleansed by His blood as His body, His light, His way in this fallen world. Lift up our eyes to look upon the tree of the cross, where Jesus bore our sins in His own body that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. Not by our wounds, but by His wounds may our healing come! For He was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities. Upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace. By His wounds we are healed! Although they mocked and spit and flogged and killed our Lord, after three days He knew already He would rise, as He is risen today. May Hosanna rise with Jesus tomorrow as Deacon Chong’s team setups up Your communion table in the evening. Let Hosanna rise this Easter Sunday – bless our breakfast fellowship. Bless the labor of the 10am setup team. Bless our joint worship with all the children in our holy communion. Bless our special Easter lunch and Oh Happy Day Fellowship. Bless our face-painters and bounce house chaperons. Bless Deacon Juhae’s table cleanup team and cleanup afterwards, bringing safety and joy of the resurrection to all. We thank You, Lord Jesus, for being our humble King who came to us and obeyed to death, even death on a cross, our Crucified Savior, God, and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen & amen.

Scripture:
 
And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” (MATTHEW 21:9)
 
So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” (JOHN 12:13)
 
And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” (JOHN 12:14-15)
 
And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” (MARK 11:9-10)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we rejoice with You yet also weep with You on this holy Palm Sunday, recalling both the joy and tears flowing down on the face of Your only eternal Son our Lord Jesus, our Hosanna Savior, as He entered the city one final time knowing what lied ahead – rejection, suffering, and the cross. Show us the holiness of Christ as we enter this holy passion week. No one takes Your life from You, Lord Jesus, but You laid it down on Your own accord. You have authority to lay it down. You have authority to take it up again! You sovereignly purposed the cross as the greatest demonstration of Your love, for while we were still sinners, You died for us. So as we raise our palm branches of praise and come out to greet You today, may You find a genuine worshipper who cries, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, the promised King to God’s people, the promised eternal Son to David! Behold, our King is coming, righteous and having salvation, humble and mounted on a colt!” Let us shout Hosanna – that You are our only Savior to save us from our sins, save us from our impending death, save us from the wrath of the final judgment to come! Let not our cries turn from praising You to crucifying You, but to trusting You and walking with You in the way of the cross, where we die to sin and live to righteousness, whereby Your wounds we find healing, whereby Your blood we are reconciled to You and one another. Bless our final week of holy week devotions with fasting and prayer. Bless our 9:30am breakfast fellowship with early worshippers. Bless our Palm Sunday discussion time & breaking of bread with joyful reflections. Bless the Officers today as they gather to plan and pray for Your church. Bless this Good Friday’s worship with renewed joy at the foot of the cross. Bless the tables/chairs setup this Saturday with our godly servants. Bless next Sunday’s join Easter worship with our children, holy communion, dessert ministry & April birthday blessings, Oh Happy Day fellowship with sounds of rejoicing in Christ’s resurrection. Bless all the precious life growing in the womb among us and Your creation sister Selene in nurture and growth. In the risen name of the One who bears the name of this church He founded, our Hosanna in the highest, our risen Lord Jesus Christ, receive Your welcome and praises with our palm branches lifted to the highest, Amen & amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on week 5 of this Lenten season devotional theme, “Watching and Waiting”
 
Scripture:
 
And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (MATTHEW 26:40-41)
 
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (ISAIAH 40:31)
 
Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (1 PETER 5:7-10)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, as we enter the 6th week of this holy Lenten season prior to the final Passion Week, show us what it means to be “Watching and Waiting” for Jesus Christ, on drawing nearer to the first coming and anticipating with blessed hope of the second coming of Your only Son. He has come to die and rise again, and He will come again with the clouds, with every eye seeing Him, as the First and the Last, who is, who was, and who is to come, our almighty Savior and Lord. Strengthen us to watch and pray instead of relax and sleep. May our prayerful dependence on Jesus keep us from entering independently into all temptation. Our spirit is indeed willing, but our flesh is so weak. By the power of prayer, keep our anxieties cast upon You and Your care for us. Sober our minds and keep our eyes watchful as the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking to devour. Strengthen us to resist the devil by being firm in faith, knowing the same kinds of sufferings are being experienced by our brotherhood and sisterhood at Hosanna and the global Church around the world. For after we suffer a little while on earth, You Yourself will restore us, confirm us, strengthen us, and establish us by Your grace and glory in Your only Son. So Lord, we wait upon You! As we wait, our strength is renewed upon You! Let us mount up with wings like eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint, for Your strength will arise within us! Bless our fasting and prayer this week and prepare us for Palm Sunday next week. Bless our breakfast fellowship with many to come earlier and on-time to service. Bless our breakout discussions during lunch with fruitful reflections on Your Word. Bless the Agape life gathering this Saturday with the holy truths of Ephesians. Fill all the needs for servants to serve You on Easter and VBS and the approaching April tables/chairs setup ministry. Bless all the students on spring break with renewed rest and strength. Bless all the precious life growing in the womb among us and Your creation sister Selene in nurture and growth. We watch and wait for You at all times, risen Lord Jesus Christ, Amen & Amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on week 5 of this Lenten season devotional theme, “Walking Toward the Cross”
 
Scripture:
 
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 CORINTHIANS 1:18)
 
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (GALATIANS 6:14)
 
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (HEBREWS 12:1-2)
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, as we enter the 5th week of this holy Lenten season, show us this week what it means to be “ Walking Toward the Cross.” The cross is an instrument of guilt, shame, and torture before the world. To live and end up on a cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Show us afresh Your power in the cross – and not any old cross – but the cross that You sent Your only Son our Lord Jesus Christ to hang on and die for the atonement of our sins. Show us Your love poured out on His cross, that it was not the nails that kept Him hanging on it, but Your love with arms stretched wide for us to the end, where Christ died to bring death to all death, and show us the only way to cross over from death to life through His cross. How can be boast in anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ? For His death is now our death to the world crucified to us, and our death to the love for the things of the world. Let us therefore lay aside every weight and sing clinging so closely, and run with endurance the race that set before us, carrying our own cross, denying ourselves, and looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross for us, disregarding its shame, and is now seated at Your right hand of the heavenly throne. Bless our new 9:30am Sunday breakfast fellowship – help our congregants come early and welcome one another to the Lord’s Day. Bless our breakout discussions today with Spirit-filled reflections. Bless the servants who labored in the kitchen prep food for today. Bless the staff as they gather today. Bless the children’s PTA gathering today. Bless those on Spring break this week, with Spirit-filled family time, safe travels, and rest. Bless all the precious life growing in the womb among us. We overflow with thanks to You for delivering sister Selene by Your merciful arms to the Gee’s and to us. Keep us all in Your grace and near Your cross out of Your empty tomb to keep going and making Your disciples, through our risen Lord Jesus Christ, Amen & Amen.

*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on week 4 of this Lenten season.
 
Scripture:
 
And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. (LUKE 22:41-43)
 
And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. (LUKE 22:44)
 
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (GALATIANS 2:20)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You our entrance into the 4th week of this holy Lenten season. Show us this week what it means to be “Called Beyond Ourselves.” Just as Your only Son, our Savior and Lord Jesus knelt down and prayed that night in the garden of Gethsemane before the cross, “Not my will, bot Yours be done.” Call us to say this with Jesus. Call us beyond ourselves, just as the Lord Jesus came not to seek His own will, but only the plans that aligned with You, Father and Spirit. Strengthen us as we battle with our flesh. Like Jesus did, help us to fast and pray more earnestly, even until great drops of blood fall down to the ground in the agony of submitting to Your will instead of our own. Keep us in awe of Your will that was to crush and forsake Your only Son on the cross, so that we might be forgiven and never forsaken, but called children of God! As Jesus took our place on the cross, may His death on the cross also be our death to our former self, for we have been crucified with Christ. We can no longer live, but now Christ alone lives in us. The life we now live in this flesh is no longer self-driven, but faith-driven in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us. May Christ alone be the reason we have life in our flesh, and life everlasting in eternity in His Kingdom. Bless today’s “Spring Forward” daylight savings. Help us know the times and seasons and live alert and wakeful for the hour of Your return. Bless this 4th week of fasting and prayer through our Lent guide. Bless the breakout discussions during-lunch today with Spirit-filled reflections. Bless this Wednesday our sister Noa Krief and the Krief family as they celebrate her birth and nurture her new birth in You. Bless this Saturday’s Agape life gathering. Thank You for blessing yesterday’s Crawfish Boil fellowship. Thank You for the many lives you are growing in the womb and safely delivering to us by Your righteous hand. You are our faithful life-giving God. Fall on us today through Your Spirit and Your only Son, our Lord and Christ Jesus, Amen & Amen.

Scripture:
 
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. (LUKE 9:23)
 
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple… So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. (LUKE 14:27; LUKE 14:33)
 
And he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. (2 CORINTHIANS 5:15)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You week 3 of this holy Lenten season as we approach Easter 2026. As we follow the devotional theme “The Way of the Cross” this week, draw us closer to the ways of Jesus as He joyfully and obediently bore all of our sins in His body on the cross. Give us a clear vision of our cross – the posture of self-denial, the place of self-death to our worldly desires, ambitions, and sinful addictions. Challenge us in our fasting and praying if we are truly following after our Lord Jesus with the weight of our cross daily on our shoulders. For whoever does not bear his own cross and come after You cannot be Your disciple. For anyone who does not renounce all that he or she has cannot be Your disciple. Crucify us again with Christ, so that we no longer live, but only Christ who lives in and through us. Crucify us with Christ so that we might no longer live for ourselves, but for Him who for our sake died and was raised. Confirm in us through this Lenten season that Christ is truly there by the weight of our cross truly bearing down upon our shoulders, counting the cost, going the way of the cross as a true follower of Jesus Christ. Bless our worship today with the exaltation of Your Word in preaching and obeying. Bless our breakout discussions during-lunch with Spirit-filled reflections on it. Bless our breaking of bread, and the dessert ministries and celebrations of March birthdays. Bless this Saturday’s Crawfish boil at the radical generosity of Your servants, Deacon Juhae & Hoon. For all who come, fill not only their stomachs with food, but their souls and hearts with Your radical generosity to go and do the same for each other as the Park’s have shown. As we move forward an hour next Sunday, let us not think an hour is lost, but be alert for the hour of Christ’s return, causing us to live in greater watchfulness and fervency to holiness. Through our Lord of all hours and of all time, Jesus Christ who is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Amen & amen.

Scripture:
 
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (MATTHEW 4:1-4)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You this holy Lenten season as we approach Easter 2026. Help us hunger again, starving our sinful flesh and hungering after Your only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Let this Easter not pass us by again, but draw us into this holy time of fasting and prayer for forty days, just as Christ went through for us in the wilderness. Lead us by Your Spirit into our wilderness, not to be overcome with temptation but be overcomers of all temptation by the devil, because Jesus has overcome for us. Help us not live by loaves of bread alone, or what feeds our temporal appetites in the world. We do not follow You just to have our stomachs filled. Keep us hungry for Christ. Keep us needy for Jesus. We shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from Your mouth, O God, the living bread of life in which we eat and will never go hungry again. Help us to seek that eternal life-giving bread, Jesus Christ, who died and rose and lives to intercede for us at Your right hand. Father God, bless all the fasting & praying this 2nd week of lent. Bless our sister Miki’s birthday today with joy and overflowing thanks to You as her Creator and Redeemer. Bless our breakout discussion groups with Scripture-centered discussions and testimonies. Bless the breaking of bread at lunch, and the elders gathering this afternoon. Bless the birthdays of our dear brother Daniel Jang in Waco tomorrow, and our sister Stella on Friday. Keep growing them into a mighty man and woman for You. Bless the AGAPE life group this Saturday, and our dessert ministry next Sunday, with all the March birthday celebrations with cake. Thank You for blessing the shower of Baby Gee, the blessing of many more pregnancies in our midst. Thank You for protecting all our Hosanna children especially in Your merciful arms. In the name of the Author of life and faith who holds us in His hand, our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen & amen.
