For India… Lord, I know you have the power to bring… JUSTICE for the oppressed FREEDOM for those bound in chains STRENGTH for the downtrodden REVELATION and SIGHT for those that are blind RESTORATION on broken homes PEACE for those that seek it HEALING on the sick SALVATION, SALVATION that they might know that you are God alone… This week our team has been focusing on worship and prayer during our personal team time.
