Prayer for Bangladesh

A Prayer for Bangladesh

19 November 2012

 

Gracious God, we pray for our Christian brothers and sisters in the remote village of Hudrapur in northwest Bangladesh, who last year professed their faith in your Son Jesus Christ, received baptism into your church, and established their own congregation.  They gather for worship in a ten-by-twenty-foot bamboo hut with a straw mat covering the dirt floor.  Not owning land, many of them, both men and women, work for low wages as daily laborers planting and harvesting rice by hand in the surrounding fields.  Lord, having opened your loving arms to these new believers, pour upon them now the abundance of your grace, that they may live life abundantly, to the glory of your holy name.  Amen.
