INDIA INTERCESSION 2
Specific areas of India
The Hindu heartland of the Ganges plains, home to over 400 million people, it covers 5 states and each state is less than 1% Christian. Please pray that these needy people will be reached, many agencies are focusing on this area. Please pray for fruit and that churches would be established and mature.
The great cities of Lucknow, Delhi, Kolkata and others are home to many Christian organisations and yet many of the residents are unreached. these include over 70 million slum dwellers.
The numbers of middle class are increasing rapidly, there is only a small window to reach them, as rampant materialism is taking over India.
Students number 12 million and although there are groups in many colleges and universities, the need is still great. Please pray that many would hear the claims of Christ and become leaders in the Indian Church.
Over 400 million are fifteen and under, India is a young nation. There is a great need amongst its people to hear and respond to the gospel. Please pray for ministries that reach out to them.
Leprosy is still a major problem in India, Jesus healed many lepers whilst here on earth. thank God for the ministries of many leper hospitals which are showing the love of Jesus.
Over 15 million blind people live in India, thank God for many audio resources to help them. Please pray that many would have their eyes open spiritually.
Muslims number over 160 million and there is an open door to reach them. Please pray that many would hear and respond to the gospel.
Sikhs are unique and number 23 million. Very few know about these people and few are called to go to them, but response both in India and in Canada is encouraging.
Buddhist Tibetans are refugees from Tibet and closely follow the Dalai Lama. Please pray for this needy people group.
Six million Jains and 70,000 Parsees are very wealthy, they have everything but Christ. Please pray for them.
There are over 400 languages in India, the need for translation is massive and urgent, please pray for the agencies doing this difficult and time-consuming work.
Indians have immigrated all over the world and in many countries, there is a massive open door. Please pray the church in countries like the USA, UK, CANADA and SOUTH AFRICA would take advantage of this.
