“And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.” (Acts 6:7)
Father, give increase to Your Word among the Sylheti people. May the church multiply, particularly among those who have been most serious about following Islam. May their lives be turned upside down for Christ!

- Prayer for Belkis:
Belkis, the mother of Valentina (a disciple of Diana), has been attending Bible studies in their home, studying the book of Romans.

Pray for her heart to be open to salvation, baptism, and involvement in the church. Also, pray for Valentina, who is in California, as she seeks work permits in the U.S.
- Prayer for Anamel and her son:
Anamel, a mother from a scouting group, has visited the church and started studying Romans with them. Although her busy schedule makes it challenging to meet regularly, they have maintained contact. Pray for her heart to be receptive to the Word of God.

Janín, and them. Pray for his heart to be open to the Word, for him to visit the church on Sundays despite his schedule, and for his eventual baptism.
