Homeless

According to the 2001 Census, the total homeless population in India is 78 million people! [1] The homeless of Kolkata, Mumbai & Delhi make up 78 percent of those people! With the Commonwealth games coming up, even more people will be rendered homeless in the next 9 months in Delhi (because of slums being torn down). This time of year is also one of the more difficult times for those that are homeless. The temperature is still cold and the rains that come with the changing of seasons have begun.

Please pray for the homeless of Delhi! Pray for those that aren't believers, that they will come to know Jesus Christ! Pray that the Christians of Delhi will be active in sharing their faith (Philemon 6) and not be afraid to share with those that are homeless! Pray that they will show Jesus' love to them by helping to meet physical and spiritual needs. Pray that they will impact this group in Delhi with the love of Jesus Christ!
