Update: Relief Work to Help 2,000 Needy Families
October 23, 2013
After surveying affected villages and identifying the most needy families, Compassion Services teams are preparing to distribute relief packets to 2,000 families Tuesday through Thursday in six districts of Odisha.
Relief packets include 22 pounds of rice and 2.2 pounds each of dal, sugar and salt, some tea leaves, cooking oil, a bar of bath soap and a bar of washing soap.
Weather forecasts predict more rain for the inundated state.
Additionally, correspondents reported a house church and a temporary church building in the area were damaged by the cyclone.
Please pray for:
No hindrances while the teams minister and provide aid.
The Lord’s help for continued relief efforts.

This November, churches across the nation will lift up our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted in foreign countries. In preparation for this, Gospel for Asia would like to present you with prayer requests and videos to give you a glimpse into what really happens in Asia. Let's join in prayer for the persecuted church.

International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church:
November 3, 2013 (or any Nov. Sunday)
Every day, believers around the world risk banishment, beatings, imprisonment and death to follow Christ and take His Gospel farther. Perseverance often seems impossible, but when the Lord enables believers to stand strong, He works mightily through their sufferings.
During IDOP 2012, we asked you to pray for GFA pastor Ugyen during his time in prison for sharing the Gospel. Now free, he and recently released Pastor Samuel share their stories of persecution and tremendous grace.
Pastor Samuel and Pastor Ugyen's Stories (6 min.)
On November 3 (or any Sunday in November), join churches across the nation in lifting up the persecuted through unified prayer. Share this video with your congregation, and let them see how their prayers can strengthen believers and expand God’s kingdom into the most unreached places.
See below for more helpful resources for your prayer time.
