SERVE India

Hello dear e-pray friends!
First, thank you so much, all of you who came to our SERVE India Appreciation Dinner! What a blessing it was to us!!
We LOVE the opportunity to appreciate all of you and your care and prayer for us and all of the ministries of SERVE India! We are so thankful for every one of you!
Once in awhile we like to give a prayer to you to use that we have taken from the Scriptures. We have added some specifics to pray for in each area of the ministry. We are confident of the power that this prayer brings because prayer is where the real work is done. So, thank you, thank you, thank you for praying this for us!!
Please pray with us from the Scripture Colossians 1:9-14 for all of those involved with the ministries of SERVE India…

Dear Father, thank You that we have heard of them and help us to not stop praying for them. We want to continually ask You to fill them with the knowledge of Your will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives so that they may live a life worthy of You and please You in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of You, being strengthened with all power according to Your glorious might so that they may have great endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to You, Who have qualified them to share in the inheritance of Your holy people in the kingdom of light. Thank You for rescuing them from the dominion of darkness and for bringing them into the kingdom of Your Son You love, in whom they have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. …

We pray for all of them …
