The Times of India Newspaper has reported that this is the most rain Delhi has had in the last 35 years! As of yesterday, the water level in the Yamuna touched 207.03 meters - this is over 2 meters above the danger mark! This is a big problem in Delhi. There are many homes and villages on the Yamuna flood plains and many people are losing their homes and entire villages are under water. There are many people staying in government relief camps until the flood waters recede. The rains are flooding farming areas also which has caused the price of vegetables to rise. The rains effect everyone in Delhi. The rains have also caused a drastic increase in Mosquito breeding. Many mosquitoes are carrying the dengue virus. One doctor was quoted yesterday as saying that she (along with her fellow doctors) each see 20-25 cases every day of people with dengue. Although the numbers are very disputed, some people say there are over 5,000 cases of dengue in Delhi.
Please pray for the Christian workers in Delhi. Pray that they stay protected from Dengue so that they can continue to share Jesus' love with everyone! Pray that Christians will care for their friends that have Dengue and share the love of Jesus with them. Pray for those that are effected by the flooding. Pray for Christians to show them Jesus' love by helping them and sharing with them.
