Commonwealth Games - Displacement

Many people are going to be displaced before and during the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The authorities in Delhi are evicting roadside vegetable sellers, cobblers, presswallahs (those that iron clothes) and food vendors that aren't officially "legal". Many people will not be able to work for a full month. Many people will have nowhere to go. Those people are very worried and stressed about what is going to happen during this time. A majority of those people live day-by-day from the money they make each day and aren't sure how they are going to provide for their families.

Please pray for those displaced workers and families in Delhi. Pray that local Christians will reach out to them and show them Christ's love. Pray that those that are displaced that are believers will have a peace though the hard times that they are going through and reach out to their other displaced friends and families. Pray that the government changes this plan and allows those people to work during the games.
