Challenges for Prayer
You can ask God :
to give strength and courage to those who follow Jesus, especially those being pressed to convert back to Hinduism.
for more Christians to go and share the good news with every person, and every village.
for more Bible translators, so that everyone can have the Bible in their own language.
to help the millions of Indians who live in extreme poverty, and suffer from diseases such as leprosy, malaria, dengue fever, and blindness.
that one day Jesus will be the only God worshiped in India
that girls and boys of all backgrounds receive care, love, and education.
that Christians will love each other, and follow Jesus’ example of loving others of all backgrounds.
for every Indian to know they are a child of God—a treasure in his eyes.
that leaders in the government, the courts, and police protect and serve fairly, respecting the law and the rights of all people in India.
