Bangladesh

Pray as we consider the principles of the International Day of Social Justice (20th Feb); pray for human rights, participation, access and equity. Pray we see these flourish in our projects worldwide. Please pray for: increased inclusion for families affected by disability. Increased access to education and health services for minority groups. Equity for girls, disproportionately affected by both Covid and climate change. Pray for greater access to fair legal systems, which support human rights.

Give thanks for BMS World Mission workers Louise and Peter Lynch, and for the support they give to BMS partner the Christian College of Theology in Bangladesh. Pray that the graduates will use their learning to enhance the Church’s witness. Pray too for BMS-supported workers Bina and James as they reach out to communities with the gospel message and help run education projects in Sreemangal.

Pray for the preparations and translation work for 15 days of prayer for Hindus that God would use these resources to create awareness among churches and believers and to generate more prayer for the South Asian Diaspora.

Feba partner RMB in Bangladesh is using shortwave radio to reach out to those exploring the Christian faith. In June, Bangladesh experienced some of the worst floods on record. Many roads have been destroyed and there continue to be widespread power cuts. Hundreds of thousands have lost their homes, cattle, crops and livelihoods. Many listeners are contacting RMB Radio for help and asking for financial assistance to repair their homes. Please pray for team at RMB responding to callers and trying to give as much practical and spiritual support as possible in the midst of this extremely challenging situation.
