Our World
India – The Straits Times (8 Sep) reports that another COVID-19 wave has already begun in Mumbai and Indian authorities are restricting major religious festivals in an attempt to slowdown infections. Pray for the safety of many of our partner’s ministries. In North India, pray for workers who face many difficulties and challenges. They report needs for medical services in the field, and for more teachers and administrators to work in Christian schools. Pray for the Lord of the harvest to raise up the workers needed in these areas.
Myanmar – On 7 September, Myanmar’s shadow government called for a nationwide uprising against the junta causing panic buying in Yangon. CNA reported protests and a rise in fights between the army and ethnic military groups. Pray for peace in Myanmar and for the believers in the country to persevere in faith despite these uncertainties. Our partner in Yangon, writes encouragingly saying “we are safe because we are under His wings.” Thank God for their faith in times of adversity.
