In total, there are over 2 million Punjabi people in the world, living in 18 countries, 16 of which are classed as unreached.

Please pray with us for all of the families affected. Please also pray for more Adult Literacy Class teachers in the state of Haryana where only 65.5% of women can read, and for Persecuted Christians all across India - ranked the tenth most severe country for persecution for a third year in a row.

The girls at Dohnavur Fellowship

Please pray for our girls who are studying online, that they may apply themselves and work hard to succeed. There is a new District Child Protection Officer in our area, and we hope to build a good relationship with him, that he may be approving of our girls’ progress in general. We would also appreciate prayer for safe-keeping for those of our girls who are studying elsewhere in India, and any Old Girls who are working and living in various parts of South India.

Shaikh unreached people, Bangladesh

The Shaikh people, descended from Arabs, are spread across seven countries. Bangladesh alone has over 135 million Shaikh. They are devoted to Islam; pray that they will come to know the glory of God in Christ Jesus. Pray too for more workers to respond to the many gospel opportunities among this people group: there is a great need for workers.

Increase of faith in India

Our workers in some areas of India are reporting that during the pandemic crisis there has been an upsurge of interest in the Christian faith. As a result of this there has been a five-fold increase in the house church movement, particularly in remote rural areas. The resulting challenge is to provide written material and training in local languages. Please pray for the resources needed and that the local workers will be able to 'catch the wave' of God's Spirit in this challenging and exciting time.
