1. This picture was likely taken three years ago. Pray for the two pictured ladies, that wherever they are today, the Lord will send a gospel witness into their lives and give them an opportunity to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

2. Turning the camera around in a 360° street view of this location reveals a couple dozen motorcycles. In India, you have to be at least 18 years old to get a driver’s license for a geared motorcycle. Pray for the the person who has most recently started driving who will use his motorcycle on this road today to also receive a clear gospel presentation before the end of the year, and believe.

3. The religious beliefs of Salem’s approximately 1.4 million residents fall into these categories:

89.79% Hindu

7.48% Muslim

2.36% Christian (mostly Catholic)

0.37% other groups

Another 1 million+ people live in the Salem metro area, with similar religious belief statistics. Increasing government restrictions and Hindu nationalism in India have made it difficult for missionaries to enter and work there. Pray for Christians who have a desire to teach the Bible and proclaim Christ in Salem to see God open the doors for them to do so.

Romans 10:13
