• Global prayer – India Western
Each week throughout this year, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for a particular territory or region of The Salvation Army.
Prayer requests are shared by the focus territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.
This week, 7-13 October, we are praying for the India Western Territory. States included in this territory are Goa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The gospel is preached in English, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi and Tamil.
Praise and thanksgiving:
We praise and thank God that the Territorial Candidates Council selected 17 young people as candidates for the sessional year of 2025-27. Candidates contact classes are already taking place.
The territory has taken steps to encourage and prepare future candidates by connecting with them and giving them guidance for their preparation. More than 40 future candidates were already dedicated for the mission of The Salvation Army. Please join with us in giving thanks to God.
We praise and thank God for the opening of new places and new extensions.
Prayer requests:
Pray for the territorial strategic priorities for 2024-28: ‘Empowering People, Equipping Systems and Engage in Mission’. After much discussion and prayers at various levels, the territory set twelve strategic goals and circulated throughout the territory to move forward with their action plans.
EMPOWERING PEOPLE: Every corps, centre, division and territorial headquarters prepared their strategic action plans to empower children and youth, men and women, officers and local officers, employees and all stakeholders. Kindly pray for our mission of empowering people.
EQUIPPING SYSTEMS: This year various assessments, upgrades and some property re-developments will take place for the good of the territory. Please pray for various leadership teams to seek God’s guidance and his wisdom in taking right steps for the future of the territory.
ENGAGE IN MISSION: The territory is focusing on mission and evangelism. We thank God for the extension work in Sangli, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Kapparada and Dharampur. Last year we opened The Salvation Army in Goa. This year we sent officer couples to Nasik, Aurangabad and Baruch to open the work. Please pray for our extension work and for the officers and their safety, health and resources.
Kindly join with us and pray for the forthcoming visit of General Lyndon Buckingham and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham in February 2025. Please pray that the outcome of the visit will be the deepening of the spiritual life of children and youth, women and men, local officers and officers. Prayers are requested for preparations and planning for the General’s visit.
