Ways you can help #2:

Pray for the people of Northern India.


India is home to 1.1 billion people, and 41% of the world’s poor. In the area where we will be serving, over 99.5% of the population does not know Jesus.


India statistics:


- 80% of the population  is Hindu
- 12.5% of the population is Muslim
- 456 million people (42% of the population) lives on $1.25 or less a day
- 42.5% of children suffer from malnutrition
- India has the largest illiterate population of any nation
- The mortality rate for children under 5 years old is 69%

Our church, The Church at Brook Hills, has committed 2010 to meeting urgent physical and spiritual needs throughout the world. This commitment includes sacrificing our money and giving it to those who need it most. Brook Hills has targeted the North Indian Ganges plains areas, and is partnering with local churches to provide food, medical care, clean water, and access to the gospel to these people. You can find out more about this initiative here.


In addition to praying for our mission team, you can also:


• Pray that the families who will now have access to water and other basic necessities will see the gospel through these tangible demonstrations.
• Pray for the church planters who will be sent out to start new churches.
• Ask God to work in the hearts of those in the villages where the church planters will minister in the coming days.
• Pray for God to use His Word to change the lives of many who previously did not have access to Scripture.
