Hear, O India: the LORD our God, the LORD YHWH is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4)

India’s vast landscape encompasses mountains, beaches, forest, and deserts, while its cultural tapestry includes two dozen official languages, over seven hundred tribal communities, and four world religions born on its soil. Travelers can discover countless different “Indias” within a single nation. Geography and culture vary dramatically, so do the spiritual landscapes, with thousands of distinct people groups having little or no access to the Gospel, presenting both a remarkable opportunity and a profound challenge.
Fast Facts:
Unreached people groups: 2,041
Population: 1.4 billion people
Largest cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore
Religions: 80% Hindu, 14% Muslim, 2.2% Christian, 3.8%
Persecution: World Watch List ranks India eleventh, due to Hindu extremists who use violence to purge the country of non-Hindu religious beliefs.
Caste system: a traditional social hierarchy that divides people into hereditary groups based on occupation and birth, historically ranking them from high-status Brahmins to low-status Dalits.
Language challenges: Father, we pray for those attempting to share the Gospel. We ask You for easy access to Bibles, recordings, and other resources translated into each of the twenty-two official languages spoken in India. We ask that online media be created and readily discoverable with translatable resources.
Caste stigmas: Father, we pray for those impacted by the enduring effects of a system that has historically assigned worth based on caste from birth. Father, we ask You to bring healing and hope to those struggling with low self-worth through their acceptance of the immense value and worth their Creator has placed on them. Father, open strategic opportunities in employment and government positions for believers.

Please join John and Zandra Dye in Venezuela in lifting these requests to God:
Pray for effectiveness in sharing the Gospel with Luis.
-Venezuelans are begging to be liberated, and the few corrupt people in power that feed off the system, like the military, are the only ones standing in the way. Apart from the people that have been benefiting off the corruption, there will always be a group that have been listening to lies and propaganda for decades that will buy into the regime’s ideology but won’t be willing to risk their lives in war to defend it.
Pray for More Workers
