South Asia: theological education

16 July 2026

Please pray for a residential camp being held next week for around 90 theological students at various levels. Three courses will be taught: Christian Family Life, Asian Church History and a new course, Biblical Mission. Please pray for the students and facilitators as they travel from different parts of the country, and for their safety and good health throughout the week. Pray that this may be a time of great learning, fellowship and blessing for all who will take part. Pray also for the ‘Christian Education Curriculum for Teenagers’ teacher training taking place this weekend; that more people may be equipped to help young people live out their Christian faith more effectively.
