Friends...
Good news...and sad news. Persecution of believers in this country is very real. Rodrick, a church planter who I will be with this week received this news:
My cousin Mr. Sonu Gilbert's son 'Amit Gilbert' was ministering in Salaiya
near Betul, central India, on April 17th, and was attacked by Bajrang Dal
(The group that worships the monkey god). They apparently sized Amit, killed
him and threw in a well. Please pray for his mother Mrs. Rani and father Mr.
Sonu Gilbert.
Please pray for the following:
o The Holy Spirit will bring His comfort to the entire family and
relatives
o This family has been walking far away from the Lord but pray that this
seed of martyrdom will result in the salvation of the entire extended
family, and many more.
o That those persecuted Amit, will come to the repentance and find their
salvation in Jesus
o This story of Martyrdom will not be used by Satan to bring fear and
discouragement in the body, rather will raise the level of faith,
commitment, shrewdness, and vision of those laboring in the Northern India
o The enemy will be defeated and the Lord be glorified in great measure by
a great Kingdom movement
"When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who
had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne; they
cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long
before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the
earth?" (Rev 6:9, 10)
I also request you to forward this mail to all that can help in prayer
mobilization.

From Mike:
Greetings everyone at home and abroad from Siliguri, this is Michael Baird. Our time here has been very powerfull, and fulfilling. The first two days were great getting to know people and moving prophetically. The LORD has much gold in his church here. On Sunday the normal church service was very fun for us. The end of the service came and many people came to us wanting prayer for healing for various different ailments. Physical problems like shoulders, knees, heals and feet, and backs, and ears. There was one ailment that moved my heart with great compassion. Samuel's daughter brought a girl with polio to the service. I remember seeing her come in and thinking I hope that we get to pray for her. It was like the friends tearing open the roof and lowering down their friend to JESUS for him to heal him. When we prayed for her I felt the fire of GOD all over her. 
She said she felt like she was going to fall down, but she didn’t . She then said that she felt like everything was shaking. I asked her if it was on the outside or the inside. She said that it was on the inside, and I said that it was good that GOD was working. A little while later she was walking on her own, where before she had to have help. We are so thankful and blessed that we were chosen to be here to pray for these wonderful people. We are humbled and strengthened how the LORD has used us. I look forward to seeing you all soon, GOD BLESS YOU ALL, Mike
I got to pray for many babies!
Bless you.
Darrell
