Pray with us, every month.
A monthly newsletter with real prayer requests and project updates — always with the care needed to protect those serving in the field. No names, no exact locations, no exposure.
Once a month, straight to your inbox
Real news from the project in India and prayer requests — just that, gathered into a single monthly message, no spam.
This newsletter isn't new. Between 2002 and 2005, more than 140 individuals, churches, and mission organizations received the Pray for India Prayer Bulletin by email, written from the field in Calcutta. It's the same commitment we're taking up again here.
Bonus: when you confirm your subscription, you'll get the 30 Days of Prayer for India guide free, in PDF. To start right away, there is a preview in Prayer points for India in 7 days.
You can unsubscribe anytime. We never share your email.

Prayer requests
From the project to India as a whole — always at a broad regional level, never a specific city, village, or name, to protect those serving in the field.
Pray for the first groups of pastors beginning their studies in West Bengal — for perseverance, a readiness to learn, and safety at their monthly gatherings.
SharePray for the course translation work, that each class would be prepared with clarity, biblical faithfulness, wisdom, and excellence, and that this content would bless and strengthen the training of many pastors and leaders.
SharePray for God to raise up faithful supporters, able to financially sustain the translation, production, and follow-up of the groups in the field, month after month.
SharePray for the churches and Christians of India — for unity, for growth in the Word, and for courage to live out and proclaim the gospel.
SharePray for religious freedom in India. Thirteen of the country's 28 states have "religious freedom" laws that restrict conversion, making life harder for those who decide to follow Christ.
SharePray for protection and courage for Christians facing discrimination, hostility, or violence because of their faith, especially where religious persecution is most intense.
SharePrayer requests by region
Each region of India lives a different reality. These requests follow the site's data and news — always at the level of a state or region, never a city or village.
Pray for the project's first groups of pastors in these two states, for the house churches attacked in September 2026, and for Serampore College and the Christian schools under pressure.
Learn more →Pray for the tribal churches of the region, where Christian families face expulsion from villages, refusal of burial, pressure to reconvert and arrests under anti-conversion laws.
Learn more →Pray for Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan, where most Indians live and the Christian presence is smallest — and where Uttar Pradesh leads the records of attacks on Christians.
Learn more →Pray for the churches of Maharashtra, where the new anti-conversion law took effect in August 2026 and is being challenged in court, and for the judges who will rule on it.
Learn more →Pray for the Christians of Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya, that their freedom may serve the pressured churches in the rest of the country, and for peace in Manipur, scarred since 2023 by an ethnic conflict that destroyed villages and churches.
Learn more →Pray for the ancient churches of the South, that they may support the younger communities of the North, and for Christians of Dalit origin, who face caste discrimination inside and outside the church.

A few numbers help explain the spiritual backdrop of the work this project supports.
A small minority
Christians make up about 2.3% of India's population — a small minority in a country of more than 1.44 billion people.
Laws that restrict conversion
Thirteen of India's 28 states have so-called "religious freedom" laws that, in practice, make conversion to another faith difficult or criminalize it.
12th on the global ranking
India ranks 12th on Open Doors' 2026 World Watch List — the annual ranking of countries where it's hardest to live as a Christian.
