Prayer
I wait for the Lord,
my soul does wait,
and in His word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than the watchmen for the
morning; indeed, more
than the watchmen for
the morning.
O Bihar,
hope in the Lord;
for with the Lord
there is loving kindness,
and with Him
is abundant redemption.
(Psalm 130:5-7 Paraphrased)
"After this I looked and
there before me was a great multitude
that no one could count,
from every nation,
tribe, people and language,
standing before the throne
and in front of the Lamb."
(Revelation 7:9)
For some time we have been praying for "Philip," a Bihari believer who was translating a series of radio programs into the Urdu language. Please pray now as
he and his wife, "Victoria," consider
moving back to the Indian state of Bihar to
live and minister there full time.
Such a move would require Philip to give up his current employment in a radio ministry. Philip lives in India's capital city, where about one-third of the Muslims are Bihari Muslims.
While the capital is home to a large number of Bihari Muslims, more than 12 million Bihari Muslims live in the two states of Bihar and Jharkhand. Ask God to guide and direct Philip and Victoria in this decision.
Pray that they will be joyfully obedient to God's will, trusting that God will provide for them in every way. Please also pray for the salvation of Philip's mother and siblings who still live in Bihar.
Pray
for Bihari Districts by name or pray for the cities
and their people.
