• Pray for India Western Territory

Each week throughout 2025, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for a particular territory or region of The Salvation Army.

The focus territory/region shares prayer requests to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (13-19 October) we pray for The Salvation Army in Western India.

 The India Western Territory has 627 officers (394 active and 233 retired); 17 cadets; 221 corps; 109 outposts; 32,699 senior soldiers; 1773 adherents; 5311 junior soldiers; 341 employees.

“Commissioner Daniel Raju Dasari leads the territory, assisted by Chief Secretary

Lieut-Colonel Zothanmawia Khiangte.

The work of the territory includes:

·  Education

·  Hospitals

·  Food services

·  Support for street children

·  Modern slavery and human trafficking response

 General Lyndon and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham visited the India Western Territory in February 2025.

Please pray for:

Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) approval: Pray that the FCRA approval is not cancelled. If withdrawn, many centres will face serious difficulties. We seek God’s intervention so that the territory’s ministries may continue smoothly.

National Officers’ Council (3-6 November 2025, Chennai): Pray for officers and leaders from all six territories as they gather. May the Holy Spirit move powerfully, bringing revival across India and leading many to walk in God’s way.

Senior Officers’ Council (24-27 September 2025): Pray for all officers who participated in this council which focused on sustainability, FCRA contingency, and strengthening the territory’s mission responsibilities.

Candidates for officership: The territory needs dedicated people to offer themselves for officership training. Pray that God will raise up faithful candidates to serve him.

Seminars: Various seminars are being conducted in different sections of ministry. Pray that each seminar will be fruitful and bring transformation in every area of service.

Vocational Bible Study for children: Pray for the sectional Bible studies planned for Sunday school children. May the children, teachers, and participants be blessed, and may many young hearts come to the mercy seat to accept Jesus as their personal Saviour.
