Each week through 2026, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for the same territory or region of The Salvation Army. Prayer requests are shared by the territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (4-10 May) we pray for the India Central Territory.

Commissioner Daniel Raju Dasari leads the Territory.

This Territory has 703 officers (500 active, 203 retired); 10 Auxiliary-Captains; 278 corps; 32 outposts and societies; 83,120 senior soldiers; 11,964 adherents; 17,483 junior soldiers; 90 employees.

The work of the Territory includes:

Education
Health
Children's homes
Modern slavery and human trafficking response

The leaders of this territory have shared the following points to guide us as we pray:

Pray for God’s provision, wisdom, creativity and faithful support as the territory develops sustainable and ethical income-generating initiatives, ensuring financial stability to effectively continue ministry, outreach, and care for communities in need.
We pray for the Territorial Strategic Priorities 2026-2030, based on the Empowering People, Equipping Leaders, Enhancing Infrastructure.
Pray that officers may grow deeper in their faith and intimacy with God, becoming strong and faithful role models for soldiers and their congregations.
And for the spiritual protection of children and youth in the territory to strengthen their faith and help them develop a personal relationship with God. Pray for guidance as they face modern challenges, distractions and pressures.
We pray for the upcoming officers’ Councils, that God would confirm his calling in the lives of all participants and guide every aspect of the event according to God’s will.
And also for the summer camps, VBS for children and Youth programs for our youth, asking God to pour out abundant blessings, spiritual growth and joy in their participation.
Please pray for the development of the women’s ministry, Home Leaguers, and women who are facing challenges such as domestic violence and the dowry system. Pray for the spiritual growth of Junior Home Leaguers and for those who are unemployed.
And lastly, pray for the youth as the leaders plan to conduct a Youth Congress this year with around 1,000 young people expected to participate. May this gathering inspire and empower them, strengthen their faith and guide them toward a purposeful and positive future. Pray also for the organisers and leaders, that everything may be carried out smoothly, and that the event will have a lasting impact on every participant.
