Working Heart and Soul in Bangladesh

Thank you for praying for "Ronny" and "Rupa," (pseudonyms) a Bengali Christian couple training to serve as church planters among the Bihari Muslims of Bangladesh.

"I need to learn Urdu for them, because so many of them do not know Bangla," Rupa says. This couple also asks that you pray for their spiritual protection against the Evil One as they study the Quran to learn bridges for sharing the gospel.

"We want to work heart and soul for them," she says. "Please pray. We want (God's) power." They also ask that you pray that God will give them wisdom and opportunities to build relationships to gain the trust of Bihari Muslims. Pray that God will provide for Ronny and Rupa in every way as they serve as a light for Him in the darkness of the Bihari Muslim refugee camps. Pray also that more workers will join them in His field.
