Please pray diligently for Christians in the state of Orissa, India. An extremely significant Hindu leader, Swami Lakshmanananda was killed in recent days and Christians are now being severely persecuted in backlash. Churches are being burned, some pastors have been killed, nuns are being raped and Christians have fled their homes to avoid beatings and killings. This is a very serious situation and the Christians there need prayers for strength (both spiritual and physical), wisdom, courage, and FAITH and TRUST in God. I doubt this has been much in the western news, but even if it has been, I came across a blog that details some of the things that have been happening -- "christianpersecutionindia.blogspot.com" As you lift up our team in the North of Uganda, please pray for the Christians in Orissa!
A quick update on the north--they are busy building houses. they are tired, but doing well. the rescued children are beginning to respond to the ministry of our team. One of ours who speaks the rescued children's local language is meeting with three young girls. Please pray for her to speak God's wisdom to them. Continue to pray for health as some are physically ill and at least one other has reported to being fearful.
Thanks for your prayer support!!!!
Mary
