PRAYER CALENDAR
Sibsagar & Jorhat, India >>map
Wednesday, Mar. 26—Saturday, Apr. 5, 2008
“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” James 5:16
On Wednesday, Mar 26th, a team of 17 Americans begin a 11-day mission trip that we pray will change lives for eternity. We will be ministering throughout North-Eastern India.
Please pray for our team during this cross-cultural outreach. The ministry of intercessory prayer is essential for a successful ministry trip. Please put this prayer calendar in a prominent place and join me as a prayer partner. God will use you and we as a team will experience the power of your prayers!
Our team will be focused on working with our Indian brothers and sisters
… to reach many people of Sibsagar and Jorhat who have never heard of Christ’s love and forgiveness
… and that many churches would be effectively established.
… and to serve Lipok Wati (Indian ministry partner) and his team to take full advantage of the God given opportunities to expand the ministry.
Our team includes people from North Carolina, and Texas. It is the desire of each member of the team to demonstrate God’s love and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of India.
