(JAHR-kuhnd) – Give thanks to the Lord of the harvest that He is continuing to break down strongholds in the northwestern part of the state of Jharkhand, India! Through training in the Four Fields church-planting method, believers have started work with a blacksmith caste and are seeing an openness to the gospel. As the training continues each month, pray for gospel fruit among this traditionally Hindu people. Also pray for discipleship among the first believers to result in transformed lives that will be the spark for the transformation of the entire community. Ask God to empower the trained, faithful believers to do His work with boldness and perseverance, trusting in Him to do His good work in the hearts of these blacksmiths.
