Prayer for Field Team: Father in Heaven, today we lift up Priya, who is asking You for the protection and security of churches, leaders, and congregations across Mumbai and Maharashtra. As she intercedes for the safety of believers, we ask that You surround the churches with Your presence and peace, shielding them from harm. Let their gatherings be places of refuge and strength.

According to Psalm 91:11, "For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways." We ask for Your angels to watch over the churches and leaders in this region. May they stand firm in the face of opposition and threats. Strengthen the believers to hold onto their faith without fear. Let Your peace guard their hearts and minds. Provide wisdom to leaders as they navigate challenges, and let their faithfulness be a witness to Your power. We pray that You would fulfill Priya's request, granting protection and security to all who serve and worship in these places. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer for Field Team: Steadfast Lord, today we lift up Rakesh and the many new believers from other parts of India who live and work in Kolkata. They are actively serving and seeking to grow strong in the Lord. We ask for Your protection over them, that they may be kept safe in their journeys and interactions. Strengthen their faith as they navigate the challenges of a new city and a new community. May they find fellowship and encouragement among each other as they serve in Your name.

According to Colossians 2:6-7, "As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him, rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving." May these new believers remain rooted in Your truth and continue to grow in faith. Let their lives be a testimony of Your grace, drawing others to You. Establish them firmly in the faith, and let their service be a source of joy and thanksgiving. Keep Rakesh steadfast in his encouragement and support for these believers, that they may flourish in their walk with You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GLOBAL CITY FOCUS (3): SILIGURI, India - Father, I pray for peace over Siliguri—over its crowded streets, border crossings, and weary hearts. Let Your Spirit sweep through this land, breaking the power of despair and fear. May Siliguri become known not for its struggles, but as a city of hope—where Your name is lifted high, and where every nation that passes through encounters Your love and salvation.

Unreached People Group: Karan Kayastha

Prayer for Field Team: Gracious Lord, today we lift up Sister Mehar near Kanpur, India. She is a woman of intentional prayer and is asking for Your guidance as she continues making disciples of women in her area. Being illiterate and of low caste has not been a hindrance for her. Thank you. She hears Your word and boldly shares Jesus' stories with other illiterate women. Open natural opportunities for the Gospel as she honors each listener as a person You love. Let prayer become the foundation and substance as the Kingdom comes to these women and their families.

According to Joel 2:29, “…on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.” Let no social position place anyone beyond Your love. Pour out Your Spirit on willing servants, and give them words that not others to Jesus. We ask You to make these words real for Mehar. Use her with your fingerprints on her, fruit that cannot be credited to strategy alone. Let Jesus remain at the center of all she does. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GLOBAL CITY FOCUS (4): SILIGURI, India - Siliguri is called the “Gateway to the Northeast,” but I believe, Lord, You have called it to be a gateway for Your glory. I pray that the roads leading out of this city—to Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Tibet—would carry not just trade and travelers, but the message of Your Kingdom. Use us, Your people, to bring light to the nations that pass through here.

Unreached People Group: Friday - Kaithwan Pasi Saturday - Newah

Prayer for Field Team - Friday: Merciful Lord, today we lift up Brother Vikram near Amritsar, India, who has been making many disciples and seeing much fruit. We join with him in thanksgiving for Your provision and guidance as he works in a difficult area. Vikram reports that he faces intense persecution. Even his neighbors keep him under constant surveillance, and the local Imam threatened him with being burned alive. Yet Vikram continues disciple-making in his community. Like Peter and John in Acts 4, fill Vikram with confidence and trust in You, Father. May he reply to this persecution with grace and humility, even as he speaks with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, as the early disciples did: “As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

According to Psalm 46:1-2, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear.” Father in Heaven, may Vikram keep his eyes focused on You alone. May he look to You for all he needs, whether physical or spiritual. By Your Holy Spirit, may those against him be turned to see You face to face. May they become co-laborers with Vikram to bring the Good News of the Gospel to northwest India. May doors open as hearts are softened to hear Your word. May Vikram know the joy of being useful in Your hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer for Field Team - Saturday: Father in heaven, today we lift up Sister Dhriti in Aligarh, India. She is asking for guidance as she and her teammates seek to meet with women for prayer. These women were illiterate and worked as rag pickers, from a caste who aren’t allowed into anyone else’s homes - and they now boldly proclaim the Gospel, serving as leaders to more than 200 house churches in their area. Thank you, Father. You alone deserve the praise for this transformation. Give Dhriti wisdom as she and her "Timothies" mentor these house churches. Raise up more co-laborers from the harvest field who can help healthy groups multiply. Give her wisdom to release emerging leaders, trusting You with Kingdom growth, grounded in the simplicity of the Gospel message.

According to John 15:26 “When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from he Father, He will testify about me.” May the Counselor testify about Jesus through Dhriti. Keep her witness centered on who Christ. Carry the hope of this verse into Aligarh. Continue to connect Dhriti with women who strengthen other leaders through careful listening, helping others take ownership of what You show them. May the evidence of Your presence and guidance bring fresh hope to Dhriti and her team, gentle strength to the followers of Jesus in Aligarh. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
