The Defender Bible Study episodes

  • 1 John 1:5-10 & 2:1-6

    Join us as Josh Caldwell leads us through 1 John 1:5-10 & 2:1-6 as well as prayers for India.

    • Pray for the church in India to be bold and steadfast. Pray that the Lord would raise up national Pastors and that the church would grow, even in the midst of persecution.
    • Pray that the Lord would continue to ignite the hearts of believers in India to care for orphans and widows. Pray specifically for our India representative, Alex Sam, and his family as they seek to encourage local believers to care for the fatherless through family-based care.
    • Pray for the salvation of CARA’s Director, Mr. Deepak Kumar, along with other CARA staff. Pray for continued blessings over Lifeline’s relationship with CARA and for continued open doors for children to be placed with Gospel centered forever families.
    • In the midst of challenges and opposition, pray for the Gospel to continue to move forward in India through intercountry adoption.
    • Pray for God to continue to provide the right Gospel-centered families for these children who are in need of families.
    • Please pray for our team in the US as they serve families and continue to grow the India program.
    • Pray for our amazing representative, Alex Sam, as he coordinates families’ travel to India. And for our other guides that he leads (Dolly, Vikram, Neha, Godsey)
    • Pray for our team’s upcoming travel to India in February – For the staff leading those trips and for the important meetings and relationships that will be built.
    • India is the country with the largest number of orphans in the world. Pray that these children would be reached with the hope of the Gospel and that they would be used as active agents of redemption in this nation.
    • Only 2.2% of India’s population professes Christianity, and almost 95% is unreached. Pray for the Gospel to go forth in these areas where it has not yet been proclaimed. Pray for people’s hearts to be softened to the Gospel and that India would become a nation full of people who fear the Lord and serve Him faithfully.
    • Pray for God to give Lifeline wisdom as we discern how God is leading us to strategically be involved in the work that He is doing throughout India.
    • Praise that in November, we celebrated our 50th child coming home from India with their forever family! 
    • Praise for the connections the Lord has given us through STEPS home in Chennai and Krupa Ministries in Bangalore... Along with the many connections He continues to provide.
    • Praise the Lord for CARA remaining very pro-adoption, even in the midst of some challenges over the past couple of years. Pray for this pro-adoption mindset to continue and for continued favor with Lifeline specifically.
