(BANG-ah-lohr) - Bangalore Baptist Hospital will be celebrating its 52nd anniversary this month. It will be a time of thanksgiving for all that God continues to do through the physical and spiritual ministry of the hospital and its community outreach and academic programs. Pray for all the staff and the leadership as they renew their commitment to the vision of healing and wholeness in the spirit of Jesus Christ.

Workers write: "Pray for displaced senior leaders to give guidance from afar as they help young personnel take on more direct leadership on the ground where they serve. As senior leaders were displaced from their homes in the city, there is an unplanned opportunity in God's kingdom for Him to do great things through fewer personnel in the country."

(car-NAH-tuh-kuh) - Please lift up a follow-up training that will be happening with a network of pastors and their wives. Pray that these leaders will have been faithful to use what was entrusted to them in the previous training and that they will be excited to learn more. Ask that they will be willing to talk about where they are stuck or struggling. Pray that these wives will continue to connect at a deeper level, and ask that their trust of one another will be rooted even deeper. Pray for these leaders to have eyes for the unengaged, unreached people groups that are living near them and hearts that desire to be obedient to the Lord as they discern how to engage these groups of people.

(OO-tar pra-DESH) - Pray for the local harvest workers who are facing times of discouragement in their ministry. Ask that they will cling to the Lord's promises and find their ultimate joy and satisfaction in Him alone. Pray that they will not listen to the lies of the evil one and that they will press on in the Lord's strength.

Last month, many people heard about Jesus, perhaps for the first time, through special Christmas programs and events. Pray that seeds that were planted will grow and bear fruit. Intercede for the follow-up of those who want to know more, and ask that they will have access to God's Word. Pray that they can know the Word, Jesus, and experience eternal life in Him.
