3. The Mandate: Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus. Acts 4:29-30 Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www.cogwm.org www.praycog.org

4. The Meditation: PASTOR: Lord, we saw the difference the Spirit made in Acts 2. At Pentecost, timid men became bold. Men who had avoided public identity with you were now blazing with fiery passion declaring who you were. PEOPLE: Fearful men became fearless. The opposition feared. Intimidated no longer, the disciples stared death in the face without flinching. PASTOR: What has happened to our boldness? We have read the New Testament accounts. We have heard the similar Pentecost stories from our early days. PEOPLE: God, in such moments, were you bold because they were bold? Are you waiting on us? Fill us and embolden us to proclaim the living Christ. Show up in our cities again, God. Show up in our lives with signs and wonders designed to follow believers and show unbelievers that you are alive. Start with me.

5. The Profile … Worship Shiva as their family gods, and consider Shivaji as their leader. They fiercely defend their culture, language and history. They belong to the upper echelons of rural society. They own land and cultivate crops. The lands are usually big enough to support cash and food crops. Like other Hindus they rever their land Earth as their mother.

6. Prayer … God we pray for a mighty army to reach the Mahratta people. We pray that their traditions and myths would no longer be enough and their hearts would seek the one true God. Pray for resources to fund a global harvest. Pray that their hearts would be open to Christian ideas they may have been instilled in neighboring cultures. Pray for salvation of the Mahratta people.
