Kindly pray that the people in our church will remain steadfast in faith; there are many older people who were cast out from the people of their village communities, but they are still situated in the Lord. I am very pleased to see their faith.
2. Please pray for our village leader election. Pray that God will appoint a good leader who will take good care of everyone. The last time, the village leader murdered someone, and is still in jail. Christmas is coming, and like we do every year, this year we also want to go to a new village and preach the Good News to about 10,000 people. Like last year, we want to distribute new testaments, blankets and saris, and have a Christmas lunch. If the Lord wills, He will fulfill all kinds of financial needs.
3. Please pray that God will arrange a graveyard for our church to prevent a very difficult situation in the future. People of the village are ostracizing those who believe.

We would train in basic music theory and biblical worship, introducing the worship leaders to Christian theology. Our vision is to bring man closer to God through the Word of God and to worship Him how He wants to be worshiped. We want to help believers learn the differences between acceptable and unacceptable worship, to worship God in spirit and in truth.
