Idols

"And the idols shall utterly pass away."

Isaiah 2:18

All over the parks of Delhi and other places around town you will see trees call the Peepal Tree. At the base of many of these trees, people place their old or broken idols that they want to get rid of. Those idols that they once prayed to, dressed, bathed and fed are now discarded.

Pray that the people of Delhi's eyes will be opened. Pray that they will see that these idols are powerless. Pray that someone tells them about the one true God that is all-powerful! Pray that they come to have a relationship with Him!

"But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and the everlasting King."

Jeremiah 10:10

Cold!

The weather in Delhi is now cold. There are thousands of homeless people in Delhi and many more that are having to sleep in the cold weather without protection from the cold. Many idols in richer neighborhoods (as seen in the picture above) are taken care of and given warm things to wear while many people are freezing. Please pray for the Christians of Delhi. Pray that they show love to their friends and neighbors that are suffering right now. Pray that they share Jesus' love by caring for them physically and spiritually.

Idols

Idols are a big part of Hindu worship. On a regular basis, the idols are washed, fed and sometimes even clothed.

.
"The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

made by the hands of men.

They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but they cannot see;

They have ears, but cannot hear,

nor is there breath in their mouths.

Those who make them will be like them

and so will all who trust in them."

Psalm 135:15-16

Please pray for the idol worshipers of Delhi. Please ask that they would see the falseness of their idols and seek out the one true God!
.
"For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;

he is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols,

but the Lord made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are before him;

strength and joy in his dwelling place."

1 Chronicles 16:25-27
