This week, pastors and members from Grace Community Church (Souderton, PA) and Grace Community Church (Kingsville, MD) are visiting one of our partner ministries in India. While there, they'll be training and caring for 40 church leaders and their wives who represent a network of more than 500 churches. This type of international leadership training is part of what our annual Mission Fund makes possible, and is also a great example of how churches in Sovereign Grace can serve overseas. It’s amazing to think that we get to be involved with leadership training in different parts of the world. 

Before the team left for India, they sent in some prayer requests. We're sharing them here to enlist your prayers and encourage you about the work that God is doing through our family of churches.

Please pray for these events:

• Teaching on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ 
• Teaching and discussion on church membership 
• Teaching and discussion for the wives of the leaders
• Six days of Vacation Bible School for more than 100 children living in slums

Please pray for these individuals:

• The 40 leaders and their wives wives who are being trained this week, and will then try to pass on the teaching to the hundreds of other pastors they serve
• The teaching team, who will need energy and clarity as they teach 20 sessions in five days, and hope to model biblical values throughout the trip
• The children attending Vacation Bible School, who desperately need the hope that only the gospel offers
