December 21st Christmas...

For the last six years our church has put on a large Christmas Celebration Program. It is attended by 3000-4000 people. We are praying for 5000 this year. But more on the details later.

I've been promising myself (and others) that I would get some prayer requests up here in advance so you can start praying (hint hint).

In no particular order, here are some prayer requests for this year's program.

Pray for:

• The man who owns the land where we conduct the program to let us use it again this year
• 5000 to come
• A good, annoited speaker
• Pray that the Gospel would go forth with power and Satan would not be allowed to snatch away the good seeds.
• Pray for the salvation of souls. We are praying that we would have at least 100 people to follow up with (salvation, prayer, questions) after the program.
• Protection against Satanic attacks in all areas
• Pray that every evil scheme planned against us will be destroyed
• Protection, safety and health for all involved
• A strong involvement by our church members
• Unity for everyone involved and also between us and the other churches and believers in the city
• Finances: Budget is $4000
• We need 5000 New Testaments in Hindi, Gujarati and English (Pray that we can get them freely)
• Pray for every special performance in the program to be done with excellence and purpose (we have performances by our school children, church youth, ladies, etc...)
• The school students, teachers, staff and parents who are involved and are not believers
• Everything to get done in a timely matter and without undue stress
• Pray for the presence of God to be with us and working through us

Thank you!

* I'm sure there is more...
