Pray For The Next Generation of Christian youth
India has an enormous Christian teenage population. Pray that young Christian Believers will embrace the Great Commission among their peers.
Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the Believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
Pray For Bible Translation
Pray for Christian youth who still lack meaningful access to Scripture in their own languages. Pray for translators, linguists, and other means by which God’s Word can reach Christian youth in their heart languages.
Your Word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105
Capital: New Delhi
Population: Approximately 1.48 billion
Christian Population: 2.3%
Region: South Asia
India is home to more than 1.4 billion people and one of the greatest concentrations of unreached peoples on earth. The country’s extraordinary diversity includes hundreds of ethnic communities, languages, cultures, and religious traditions.
The Unreached Christians
Among India’s Christian communities, which are concentrated in major population centers, others live in rural, remote, mountainous, forested, or culturally isolated areas.
A Nation Of Many Languages
India’s diversity is also linguistic.
The Constitution’s Eighth Schedule recognizes 22 languages, while India’s broader linguistic landscape includes many additional languages, tribal languages, dialects, and mother tongues.
The reasons differ from community to community.
For some Christian youth, the greatest barrier is scale—enormous populations spread across vast regions.
For others Christian youth, it is language and cultural distance. Some communities have very little presence within their own social and linguistic networks.
Pray For The Unreached Christian Youth
Pray for the millions of Christian youth in India who live in communities where there is little or no emphasis to the Gospel. Ask God to open hearts and create opportunities for Christian youth to hear the Gospel message.
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Romans 10:14–15
Lord Jesus,
We bring India’s Christian youth before You.
You know every people group, every language, every village, every city, and every Christian youth who has never heard the Gospel Message and the Gift of Salvation.
Open doors for the Gospel among the Christian youth who do not yet understand what it is to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Where there is hostility to the Gospel Message, bring peace. Where there is division in the Church, bring reconciliation.
And for every Christian youth who has never heard—make a way for them to hear.
In the Name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
