As we celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ, the bringer of light to a darkened world, let us remember to pray for those in India who are still in darkness, and who don’t know Him.  Of 1.21 Billion people, over 1 billion have never heard the Gospel once. Pray for the orphans – Over half the worlds orphans live in India. pray for children sold into slavery to pay family debts and for those who are victims of the sex trafficking and child labor. For the malnourished and sick with out fresh water or adequate food.

Praying for the Church in India
Pray for the laborers – for God to continue to raise up, provide for and protect the local pastors. For the continued spreading and growth of house/cell groups. For the distribution of God’s word in the native languages not just written, but thru down loadable aps for cell phones, solar powered audio devices. TV and radio.

Greetings to you in His name! GOD is so great! We are so happy about the Franklin Graham meetings. Satan tried to create problems but Satan was defeated. Praise the Lord. Every day WE WERE BLESSED BY HIS MESSAGE. God gave us opportunity to work for this FESTIVALS.

Our children also attended for the retreat program at stadium. They enjoyed the retreat. Praise the Lord! They provided vehicle to go to the Retreat. Praise the Lord! WE WERE BLESSED A LOT.

WE ARE SO HAPPY, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAME to JESUS CHRIST newly. The youth was blessed a lot. Last night heavy crowd hundreds and thousands attended the meeting. Roads were jammed. Stadium place is not sufficient. Thousands of the people stood outside around the stadium with lot of disappointment. I trust God is given blessings to them also.

Keep praying for India! –Raja Partap Kumar, Hyderabad Full Gospel Fellowship

Pray for an in filling of the Holy Spirit to revitalize those who have grown weary, Strength for what ever task lays ahead of them, so they may run and not grow weary. For His wings to cover them: comforting, encouraging and protecting them. Unity among them, setting aside differences, knowing they are building the House of the Lord together for the glory of God not man.

Pray for Global Hope India and for their Adopt a Missionary program. For people to catch the vision, stepping up to commit to the supporting of a missionary in India.

A “ME” is an evangelist with a computer that stores a large library of Christian content (Bibles, movies etc) that can be shared and down loaded on to other devices like cell phones. This is a much easier and less expensive means of getting Christian content to people, translated into their own language, in both a readable and audio format. Imagine the eternal impact this would have. People who might not otherwise have access to a printed Bible being able to read and/or listen to the bible in their own language. One of the major issues with this has to do with copyrights. Pray that where needed, permission will be given and those in authority will catch the vision. That God will provide each city with at least one Mobile Evangelist with a PC to store the larger library.

1. Bible Distribution Ministry
2. Help to the Pastors, Evangelists and Women ministers who are working in the rural areas
3. Megaphones to the pastors for going to outreach
4. Help to the orphans and those destitute
5. Medical/Nutrition to Mother and child
