Today’s Big Question

When people are searching for a god in many different places, how can they encounter the one true God through Jesus?

Meet Ayodhya and Allahabad/Prayagraj

Ayodhya and Prayagraj are important cities along the Ganges region of northern India. Ayodhya stands beside the Sarayu River and is closely connected with Hindu stories about Rama, and it being Rama’s birthplace. Prayagraj lies where the Ganges and Yamuna meet at the Sangam, a place visited by many pilgrims. The cities are filled with riverside steps, markets, families, schools, festivals, and busy streets. We can pray that people will encounter Jesus. Pray that they know they are loved by God, and have freedom to ask honest questions about faith. Bania families are found in many parts of India.

Where is it?
In Uttar Pradesh
Landscape
Himalayan foothills, forested hills, river valleys, farms, and plains. Including the famous river - the Ganges
Why do many visit?
Both cities are major Hindu pilgrimage centres and associated in Hindu tradition with Rama and the Ram Janmabhoomi temple. The 2025 Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj drew more than 660 million visits according to official estimates.
Daily life
Families live ordinary lives along the important rivers and historic places. Children go to school. Families have meals together. Adults work. The difference here is the large pilgrimage season and festivals that draw all kinds of people to the area.

For ages 6–8: Spot it: can you find a motorcycle stall, people on the long suspension bridge, and clay pots being sold beside the bench?

For ages 9–12: What questions do you have about the people living here?

Pray, Remember, Respond

ข้อพระคัมภีร์ที่ควรจดจำ

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:20

What does it mean? God invites us to pray with hope for people everywhere.
Try it: tap one important word to circle it. Then draw a tiny picture on paper to help you remember it.

Dear God, today I want to pray for…

Lord, may the communities of Ayodhya and Allahabad/Prayagraj know that nothing is impossible for you. Just as the river flows through this area, may your Spirit flow through them and nourish all those that they encounter. Finally, Lord, part the Heavens and come down once again. With your consuming fire, burn away the idolatry and bring your peace in its place. Release them from the chains that bind them in Jesus’ name. Amen.

ประเด็นการอธิษฐาน

Tap each prayer star after you pray.

  • Gospel On the Ground

    Pray for the Gospel as it goes out. Pray people would develop a love for God’s word and begin to seek God through it with all their hearts, souls, and minds.

  • Softened Hearts

    Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of the people. Pray they would be soft and receive the word with joy. Then, search the scriptures to see what is shared with them is true and turn from their idols to the one true God.

  • Bania People

    Pray for them to know the love of God. The height, width, depth and love that he has made available through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Pray the people would respond and follow Him wholeheartedly.

  • Restored Relationships

    Pray that relationships would be mended and tensions healed. Pray for those who travel to the area searching for cleansing and renewal that they would find the only one who can do that, Jesus.

Continue praying

Pray for families, children, local Christians, peace between communities, and opportunities for people to hear about Jesus without pressure or coercion.

Explorer Challenge

What would you ask God to do in this city? Trace the triangle.

These two cities connect with Varanasi to form a Hindu spiritual triangle in the area. Let’s pray that God takes what Satan is using for evil and uses it for good. Pray that God changes these three cities to be a spiritual triangle that declares His praises. That people walking in darkness see a great light and are set free from the powers of darkness.

Your prayer is saved on this device, so it will still be here when you come back. Nobody else can see it unless a grown-up helps you share it.
