Daily Prayers
The following scriptures ...lifted mainly off the pages of the book of Acts... describe how God worked in the 1st century. Simply, pray one of these verses each day (merely a minute or two daily) for a year and then a second year. Together, we'll watch God glorify Himself as He radically changes the Banjara testimony of never hearing the good news of Jesus to one of that at the name of Jesus every [Banjara]knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Sunday: Ask God our Savior to glorify Himself in India and specifically the Banjara gypsy tribal group by drawing this entire people group to Himself before the close of 2010!
Ephesians 3:21: to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Monday: Ask our loving Father to add new believers every day to the churches of the Banjara.
Acts 2:47: praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
Tuesday: Ask Jesus to add multitudes of new believers every day to His church in Banjara country.
Acts 5:14: And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Wednesday: Pray that God would multiply disciples (and mentors for these new disciples) in India.
Acts 6:1: Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number
Thursday: Pray that God would multiply greatly the number of disciples in the Banjara people.
Acts 6:7: And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
Friday: Pray that God would glorify Himself by igniting a church planting movement of  biblical proportions by planting new churches daily in Banjara thandas (villages).
Acts 16:5: So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.
Saturday: Praise God, the Living God, the One and Only, who is able to answer our prayers more abundantly than all that we can ask or think!
Ephesians 3:20: Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us
