A local Bible schoolteacher pointed out there were not many believers in Kolkata. The population of the city and its immediate surrounding area is estimated to be around 15 million (2001 Indian Census). He asks that fellow believers world-wide join him in praying for Calcutan Christians to feel the Spirit calling them to share Christ’s love with their neighbors.

Local pastors and lay leaders will attend a discipleship training program today. The Bible schoolteacher explains these types of training are important in equipping believers to carry out the Great Commission. Pray God uses each trainee to share the Good News and start new house churches among their neighbors.
