Temples

Temples in Delhi (and in most of India) can really help a person to grasp what it was like in many different Bible stories. On the temple grounds of Kalkaji Temple in Delhi, you will see many people with many different problems outside of the temple. People that are crippled, injured and poor will sit outside of the temple and beg for money. You will also see many, many vendors. They sell things like worship supplies, trinkets & necklaces having to do with the Hindu gods, bangles, kids toys and a number of other things.

- Please pray for the people that sit outside of the Kalkaji temple and ask for help.
- Pray also for all of the people that come in and out of that temple searching for the true hope that only Jesus can give!
- Pray that Christians of Delhi would not be afraid to go to the temples and temple grounds to minister to people and share the love of Jesus Christ!

Hunger

Many people in Delhi are starving. They are starving in many different ways. The most obvious way is starving from lack of food. Many people in Delhi go to bed hungry because they don't have enough money for food. Please pray for these people that deal with hunger pangs on a daily basis and even die from lack of food and nourishment.

The other ways that people are starving is spiritually. There are MILLIONS in Delhi that don't know Jesus or even know who he is! Most people in Delhi know that there are Christians in Delhi but don't know anything about what Christians believe. They don't know anything about Jesus and how he can fill their lives in a way food or things like that never can! Please pray for the people that are out there that are seeking! Pray that someone will tell them about Jesus! Pray that they will get the chance to learn about Jesus!

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled"
Matthew 5:6

Suicide

Sadly, suicide is very common here in Delhi. Many students kill themselves every year around exam time. There is a lot of pressure put on students and especially males of a family. Just this week a young man named Ram hung himself. He was the only son in his family and his family is devastated. Please pray for Ram's family. Pray that they will learn the Good News of Jesus Christ and the hope that he gives.

EASTER!

Easter is a big opportunity for Christians all over the world! Please pray specifically for the Christians in Delhi! Pray that they don't just cloister within themselves to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, but that they will share the Good News with everyone around them. Most people in Delhi don't know the meaning of Easter (only that it's a Christian Holiday). Pray that Christians will share the true meaning of Easter with everyone around them!
Please pray specifically for Sanjay this Easter. He is inviting everyone in his village neighborhood to his house for Easter. He & his wife will be providing a meal for everyone there and telling them all about the true meaning of Easter. Please pray for him and his neighbors during this time! Pray that they will learn about the true meaning of Easter and learn about how to have a relationship with Jesus. Please also pray that Sanjay and his family will be blessed this Easter!

Happy Resurrection Day!
