INDIA INTERCESSION 1

India is a battleground country, there are over 1.4 billion people in India and the vast majority are not Christians, indeed over 900 million are un-reached and persecution is rampant. We need your prayers earnestly and fervently for this land.

Prayer needed for:

The government favours the Hindu majority and many anti-conversion laws have been passed in nearly all the states of India, making evangelism very difficult. Please pray that despite this, the gospel would go forth in great power.

Despite ongoing persecution, the church continues to grow. Please pray that many of these new believers grow up strong and become soul winners in their own right.

Please pray for all pastors and evangelists who are under constant pressure, many have been attacked and some have been killed. Continue to pray for God’s divine protection.

Please pray for the calling and training of men and women to share the gospel.

Hinduism holds India in its grip and recently a strong surge of Hindu nationalism has gripped the country. Please pray that all spiritual forces are bound in Jesus’ name.

The caste issue in India is a complex problem, please pray that this would not hinder the spread of the gospel. That all people would be welcome in the church.

That the church would work together in unity and that the false prosperity gospel, would be booted out of the church.

Thank God for the hundreds of prayer networks, may these yield rich fruit for the gospel.

For the establishment of more training centres, please pray for the work of Gospel for Asia and Operation mobilisation.

Specific people groups

The Brahmin are the priestly caste and less than 20,000 out of 50 million actively follow Christ. Please pray that they would be reached.

Forward castes , which include the:

Rajput 43 million

Hindu Jat 16 Million

Mahratta 30 million

Please pray fervently

Backward castes

Most of the population of India, belongs to this group, these include:

Kapu 16 million

Yadava 60 million

Nai 12 million

Mappila 10 million

Again, fervent prayer is needed

Scheduled castes/Dalits

Much success for the gospel amongst these people, continue to pray for:

Pasi 7 million

Mahar 9 million

Dhobi12 million

Tribal peoples, are many. The Gond, Bhil and Koli, number 40 million between them, but have few believers.

Another 485 people groups of over 10,000 are un-reached with the gospel. The need is great.

LETS FERVENTLY PRAY
