Thailand Missions Prayer Chain
7/2/25 - 7/14/25
nmpc.link/prayer-chain
The 2025 Thailand Missions is underway, we are reaching out for people to join us in prayerful support through our 2025 Thailand Prayer Chain.
The Apostle Paul reminds us that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). That’s why it’s vital that we not only send off our team with encouragement but also uphold them in ongoing prayer.
By clicking the link below, you’ll find the team’s schedule along with suggested prayer topics. Our hope is to cover every part of this trip in prayer—from each team member and the itinerary to the very people they will be encountering. To participate, simply add your name to a day. In doing so, you are committing to covering every part of that day in prayer.

Koinonia Prayer Night
7/24/25
Ridgefield, NJ
nmpc.link/prayer
Join us for our next Koinonia Prayer Night on Thursday, July 24 @ 7PM. To ensure enough food is prepared, please be sure to RSVP.
Koinonia in Greek means "fellowship." In the Bible, however, fellowship means much more than what modern Christians have made it. It involves intimacy in relationship and a deep spiritual camaraderie that involves prayer, mutual encouragement & edification, and the breaking of bread. This prayer night is designed to reflect the spirit of that word and to meet people where they are, similar to what we see in the Book of Acts.

Sermon
Jacob's Blessing: Two Brothers, One Destiny
Speaker
Josh Lim
Scripture
Genesis 49:8-12, 22-26
8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you;
your hand will be on the neck of your
enemies;
your father’s sons will bow down to you.
9 You are a lion’s cub, Judah;
you return from the prey, my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until he to whom it belongs shall come
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.
11 He will tether his donkey to a vine,
his colt to the choicest branch;
he will wash his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 His eyes will be darker than wine,
his teeth whiter than milk
---
22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine,
a fruitful vine near a spring,
whose branches climb over a wall.
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;
they shot at him with hostility.
24 But his bow remained steady,
his strong arms stayed limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,
because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25 because of your father’s God, who helps you,
because of the Almighty, who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,
blessings of the breast and womb.
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than the bounty of the age-old hills.
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among his brothers.
