1. New Life in Christ
• Please join with us in praising our Almighty God. 47 new believers received the sign of water baptism in February.
• Also, thank our God for helping G.O.S.P.E.L. workers to engage with 75 individuals who are showing keen interest in the gospel.
• God has given another 150 new believers who are preparing for baptism in April.
2. The enemy may attack
Baptisms are usually quite public events in small rural villages. So, they are powerful witnesses to the community, but also potential threats. Please pray that there will not be any untoward incidents by Hindu groups to disturb the baptism programs.
3. Triumph of good over evil
On the 20th and 21st of March the Hindu festival of colours called ‘Holi’ is held. People from different places will gather for celebration of the Northern Hemisphere spring. It celebrates fertility, colour, and love, as well as the triumph of good versus evil. There is a lot of drunkenness and often violence against believers. Please pray for safety for our workers during this time.
4. Recent opposition
Please pray for anxious believers who are facing persecution in the Udaipur field in Rajasthan. Hindu village leaders are opposing the gospel spread of the Gospel. May God bless these young believers with much courage.
