In light of the recent attacks in Orissa, Gospel for Asia leaders in Karnataka are asking for prayer. They send these specific requests:

. Ask God to specially assign His angels to watch over and protect His people, evangelists, pastors and church leaders who are scattered across the state of Karnataka.

. Pray that police and government officials will bring the violence under control immediately.

. Pray that God will strengthen the church with courage, boldness, strong conviction and faith in the Lord to stand firm for His name during these days.

. Pray that the enemies of the Gospel will be visited by the love of the living and true God and that a great number of them will turn to Him.

. Pray for the suffering Christians to receive justice and favor in this hour of crisis.
