Great Teacher, We humbly ask that You return to our classrooms and dwell once more among our students and teachers. Plant within the hearts of educators a renewed desire to include Your Word in the lessons they share. May truth, wisdom, and righteousness guide instruction, just as they did at the founding of our nation. Let Your Word again be the foundation of learning, shaping minds and hearts for generations to come.
Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say. Exodus 4:12 NLT
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. – Benjamin Franklin
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
Operation World Pray for India : India has more unreached individuals than any other nation. The south and northeast have a higher proportion of Christians than the more populated north and west. Pray that the Church worldwide might rise to this task! Pray for:
* The North India Ganges plains, or the states through which the Ganges flows (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal). Together they account for close to 500 million people. None of these states is more than 1% Christian. However, the Church now grows here more than ever, with some megachurches and several networks of house churches. Some Christians had a vision for 1 million churches planted in the north by 2020. Although short of 1 million, the many thousands of new fellowships started are an indication of increasing fruit in areas previously regarded as immensely difficult for church planting.
* The great cities, where the very rich live close to the very poor. Millions come from rural areas to cities every year, and most end up in slums. Mumbai and Hyderabad have significant Christian populations, while Kolkata, Delhi, Varanasi, and Lucknow have little Christian witness.
* The middle classes (between 400-500 million people). Half the cross-cultural missionaries worked among tribal groups, and many of the rest among the neediest sections of the population. Few today work among the urban middle class and the higher castes. This needs to change, but most workers feel unprepared for such challenges.
