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.

Floods in Bangladesh

Please pray for the continued recovery and rebuilding in Bangladesh, following the heavy seasonal rains in September 2020 which triggered flooding that have inundated 40% of the country. The flood was described as the ‘worst flooding’ since 1998. Pray for all the humanitarian organisation which were involved in the relief efforts, and for the people of Bangladesh who are having to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. Pray that the Lord’s presence would be tangible for the affected people.

Give thanks for the Lord's guidance, protection, faithfulness and love in leading the work of The Dohnavur Fellowship Hospital for the past 84 years. Give praise that all six students of the second batch of our Nursing School passed their exams and are now on their internship and pray for the first-year students to study well. Also, the Indian Central Government has brought about many changes in the FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act). Pray that we may cope with all these changes.

unreached Pashtun people

Worldwide there are over 33 million Pashtuns in 18 countries*. The majority of Pashtuns live mostly in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pray that God will open Pashtun hearts to the light of the gospel and bring them into contact with local believers, either in person or online. Pray that those believers will have boldness to speak about God’s love, and that the Pashtuns will respond to the good news. Pray too for people to have a heart to pray for this unreached people group. [*Source: joshuaproject.net]
