People of the Lower Plains of Karnataka, India

(car-NAH-tuh-kuh) – Visiting a new church, Marianna met a woman who was passionate about sharing the gospel. As they talked, Lakshmi shared with her how she and her daughter are the only believers in their family. Her husband and son are atheists, and her husband has come multiple times to the church and dragged her by her hair out of the worship service. Despite that, she is faithful to attend every Sunday, and she regularly goes to nearby villages for ministry. Pray for Lakshmi to remain strong in the Lord, leaning on Him for her every breath. Pray for the salvation of her husband and son. Pray that Marianna will be able to meet with Lakshmi to equip her with basic, reproducible evangelism tools to help her in her village ministry.
