Bhojpuri of South Asia

(bohj-POOR-ee) – In many parts of the world, if one spouse is a believer, assumptions are made that the entire family is walking in faith. Many easily assume that wives of church leaders surely are believers alongside their husbands. However, that isn’t always the case. In the Bhojpuri belt, men can often be seen leading churches and even networks of churches but failing to disciple their own families, sometimes not even knowing the status of salvation for those in their own home. In the coming months, a focused effort will be made to strengthen the wives of key ministry partners in the networks. Some of these women are strong, faithful followers, while others aren’t sure of their own salvation. Please pray for these times to be strengthening to the believers and eternally eye-opening to those not yet truly in the body of Christ. Pray for those doing the training to be wise and discerning as they guide these women deeper in their knowledge and love of the Lord.
