Dear caring Prayer Friends,  (truly, thanks for caring and praying),

        As we pray for hurting children all over the world, and especially
in India, we remember the solution: Christ.  He is the answer to their
problems.  Please read the following authentic request about an
unprecedented event taking place Sunday, Nov. 4th.  Our prayers could
change the destiny of millions of poor.  

        Praying with you for tomorrow's choices in India,

Janey

NOTE: The following prayer request has been confirmed with HCJB World
Radio headquarters in Colorado. Please spread the word and uplift Ram
Raj and his ministry in prayer.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST
 Let me share a wonderful moment in history with you.  For a change we
can see it coming and can look forward to it and pray now!. The
"untouchables" or 'outcasts' of India have been at the bottom of the
caste system for 3000 years.  Hinduism has taught that there is no
escape for them, so they have had the worst jobs, if any at all, and
lived in total poverty. They truly are the poorest, most deprived,
hungry, shunned, scorned, condemned, and most victimized people in
India.
They number between 260 million to 300 million people. (about the
population of the United States.)
      Coming from these 'untouchables' is a new 43 year old leader by
the name Ram Raj. He may be the highest educated 'untouchable' (Ph.D)
and highest placed (Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax for Delhi) in all
India. He has lead these outcasts to formally denounce Hinduism for what
it
has done to them for generations and to consider another religion. (In
many areas 'untouchables' are not even allowed to enter a Hindu
temple..so, why be Hindus?)
     Islam has approached them and offered much.  If the Muslims had the
dominate religion in India they would control about 1/3 of the people on
earth. However, the events of September 11 have caused the
'untouchables' to move away from Islam. Buddhism is very attractive to
them and the USA attraction to it, via our movie personalities, has
impressed them.  Some have already converted to this religion.
      Dr. Rochunga Pudaite (Bibles to the World), one of our HCJB
partners in India, has presented Christianity to Ram Raj.  He was warmly
received Rochunga has been asked to make a formal presentation of
Christianity to one million 'untouchables' that will gather on Sunday,
November 4th in Delhi.  Dr. Pudaite already has a Gospel of John for
each person and the Jesus film in their languages.
      Can you imagine being asked this question?  "The only way for our
people to find freedom from 3000 years of slavery is to quit Hinduism
and Castism and embrace another faith.  Christianity offers hope for
us.  We want our people to become Christians.  Can you help us?"  Praise
God, Rochunga said "yes"!
     Now, the hard facts!  If the 'untouchables' respond to
Christianity: It will be the greatest revival of all time. There will
need to be people to conduct mass baptisms. (They already have 5000
Indian pastors lined up). There will need to be churches available to
these new converts. (Many church planters are in the plan). There will
need to be trained pastors for these churches (Can we help here?) Radio
could be greatly used in the follow-up process...(we will need to be
proactive). The churches in India will need to accept 'untouchables' in
their services. (Reeducation). It will change India for ever.
     Can you believe this great event will happen in less than two
weeks?  We need to get every Christian praying for Dr. Pudaite.   Pray
for wisdom...pray for his safety (there will be organized
resistance)...pray for the 'untouchables'.
     You might also want to pray that the media will be aware of what
God does at this amazing event and report it with awe. Our loving God
will provide salvation -- we need to provide prayer support for this
event! I know in my heart, you are up to the task as 'watchmen on the
wall'!
