I received an email about a young girl that I know who is ministering in West Bengal. I am copying an email that I received from Kristen's sister below which will explain the situation.
"I just wanted you to be praying for this place, West Bengal. Since I have come here there have been battles arising between the tribal and terrorist people groups. The Tribal people have declared an Ethnic war which will will begin here on May in this village and the neighboring places. The children around a little farther away have already been removed where the war will begin. There is already been very much battling going on here in the townships and many are dying between the tribal people around west Bengal. This war will include the Bengalis the Boros, the Nepalis, two other tribes and the Muslims. Many Muslims have arrived for the battle this Friday, and they have many many people to battle with great power and weaponry. This war is expected to be very bad and many will die they say. So I ask for prayer for protection for us all, we have no place to take all of the children here with having over 100 and so we just need to trust the Lord will protect us from ALL harm a midst this fighting. Our God is mighty Amen!
"A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you."
We have our God who is mighty to save His people so especially remember to pray this week if you can just that the power will be weakened and the war will fall and we will trust our God!
Please pray for Kristin, for the children, for the people groups who are involved in this and for the people who live in this part of India. Pray for protection, pray that "none will come near them". I will update you as I know more.
