Tämän päivän suuri kysymys

What does it mean to follow Jesus when your whole world is shaped by the mountains, family traditions, and sacred places around you?

Meet the Himalayas

High above the clouds, the Himalayas stretch across five countries. Families who live here grow food on steep hillsides, care for animals, and work together through cold winters and changing weather. For many Hindu people, the mountains are holy or sacred. Mount Kailash, in Tibet near Nepal and India, is especially important because many Hindus believe their gods live there. Culture, faith, and traditions are connected to the landscape. As you begin today’s journey, pray that people across these mountain communities will know that Jesus sees them, loves them, and invites them close.

Rukoile, muista, vastaa

Muistiruno

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

Psalm 121:1-2

Mitä se tarkoittaa? Jumala kutsuu meitä rukoilemaan toivoa täynnä ihmisten puolesta kaikkialla.
Kokeile sitä: Napauta yhtä tärkeää sanaa ympyröidäksesi sen. Piirrä sitten pieni kuva paperille muistaaksesi sen helpommin.

Rakas Jumala, tänään haluan rukoilla…

Lord, thank you that even the highest mountains are not too far for you to reach people. You say your love is higher than the highest mountain and deep as the deepest ocean for your people. Thank you for the people who live in Mount Kailash. Send people so that they may know that you love them. Just as I am learning that you love ME that much! You’ve made us all special and unique! Thank you for your creativity! Bless the people of Mount Kailash with your love and presence. Amen.

Rukouspisteet

Napauta jokaista rukoustähteä rukoiltuasi.

  • Pilgrims

    Pray for the pilgrims on sacred paths. Pray that they would find the one true God even though they are seeking other gods. May they encounter Jesus along the way and set their hearts and lives on Him.

  • Hindu Neighbors

    Pray that Hindu families will have opportunities to hear the good news of Jesus in ways they can understand. Pray seeds would be planted and produce a harvest a hundred fold.

  • Christians in Nepal

    Pray for boldness and provision for Christians who are sharing their faith. Pray that God would lead them to people eager to know Him and that their work would not be in vain.

  • Families in the Mountains

    Pray that families will have enough food, warmth, safety and strength during difficult weather. Pray that they do not reject family members who convert to Christianity. Pray their hearts are opened to know Jesus.

Jatka rukoilemista

Nepal is constitutionally secular and people may practice their religion, but its laws restrict conversion and attempts to persuade someone to change religion, which can make public Christian witness difficult. Pray for Christians and unbelievers alike. That laws would change and people would come to know Jesus despite the persecution.
