Week of Novembr 8-2009

November 8 : Prayerful Planning. Pray for those who will be participating in our first follow-up meeting from a training that took place in Kolkata in September. In the September meeting, participants wrote a six-month work plan that they would use in reaching their people group. Pray that the November follow-up meeting will be a time of encouragement and motivation to do the work that God has for each person. Pray that each worker will receive the help and counsel they need to finish their work plan. Also pray that God will give clear direction on how they need to continue working.

November 9 : Women Leading Women. Give thanks to God for a group of believing women who are listening weekly to the New Testament in their own language. Thank Him that a strong, believing woman has begun facilitating the time through teaching and praying with the other women.

November 10 : Plans to Reach UUPGs. Give thanks to God for the training that took place in August in K. Thank you for interceding for this church-planting training that approximately 60 people attended. Thank the Lord for those who came and went away with a renewed vision for their work and a concrete plan for the next six months for reaching unreached people groups.

November 11 : God Answers & Adds. Earlier you were asked to pray for God to continue to draw Muslims to faith during Ramazan (Ramadan) and beyond. Since April of this year, the number of ‘jamaats’ (house churches) has almost doubled in one church-planting movement where God is clearly at work! Praise God! Indeed, praise God!

November 12 : God Answers Prayer. You have been praying faithfully each month for the South Asian unengaged peoples. We are so excited to report to you that 11 new people groups have recently been reported as being ‘engaged’ by cross-cultural workers in South Asia. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! “The Lord is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. The Lord is good to all, And His mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord, And Your godly ones shall bless You” (Psalm 145:8-10, NASB).

November 13 : To the Ends of the Earth. Pray that as God’s Word goes forth to the 144 South Asian unengaged peoples, it will be clearly communicated. Acts 14:1 says, “They so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.” May millions of Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, tribals/animists, Sikhs and Jains come to know the Savior who died in their place.

November 14 : Pod of West Bengal. Pray for the more than 2 million people in the Pod people group living in West Bengal, India. Over half of the population lives in poor conditions, and the literacy rate among both men and women is very low. Pray that the truth of God’s Word will be shared verbally in the Bengali language among the Pod people group so that they may hear and believe that Jesus came, died, arose and lives again so that they can have life eternal.
