    Father,
    I pray for the people all across India who have never heard of your name. May you send workers into the harvest field in India to preach your Gospel and share the hope of Jesus with them. Holy Spirit, work in the hearts of these people and allow them to be drawn to your truth. Father, I thank you for allowing the church to grow in India. Continue to strengthen them, build them in their faith and allow them to proclaim your truth throughout this country. Continue to bring unity among them and allow them to love each other and show your love to people who don’t know you. Provide protection and guidance for these people. Thank you for all that you’re doing in the country of India. Amen.

    God, thank You for the various Indian peoples, You created them in Your image, though they are now plagued by the same sin condition we all suffer in. God, please reveal Yourself as both healer of the body and the soul to the Indian people, and make them to feel the discomfort of not believing in You, so that they may yearn for You. Give them Your Word and laborers to teach about You that they may call on the only name that saves, Jesus Christ, who paid for their sins. Amen

    God thank you that you love the people of India. You have created them in your image. I pray that you would send laborers to bring them the good news of Jesus in their languages. I pray that you would Christians from the darkness that surrounds them, that the truth of your word would be lifted high among them. I pray that there would be Christians in every village and that the churches in India would be a bright light of hope against so much darkness. I pray that you would transform India from a place of the lost to a country that sends out Christians to other unreached peoples. I praise you that you are able and powerful enough to accomplish all of these things and I pray them in the power of Jesus name.

May your kingdom come and your will be done in greater measure in every Christians sphere of influence, among their families, friends, neighbours and beyond. Will you strengthen, unify and increase the influence of your church in India. Will you give courage and wisdom to the leaders of churches both small and large.

    Father,

    I lift up the Hindu civilization in India to you and ask you to call worshippers from every tribe and tongue to your throne. May they worship you in their own beautiful and unique way. Send more laborers for the harvest. Raise up followers of Christ in each language group who will know how to contextualize the Good News in a way that leads many to seek and find you.

    God of the nations,

    We see so many without hope in India – the utter hopelessness of losing a loved one to death, following after false gods who cannot raise a finger to give help or hope to the people, the immense poverty. Father, may You bring showers of Jesus’ love to those in India who have never heard Your name.

    In Jesus’ powerful name,
    Amen
