At the NAMB Indian Pastors Conference in Rogers earlier this month, Pranay Borde, church planter at Hillcrest International, Little Rock, said, "Almost every [Indian] pastor highlighted the need to intentionally pray for more laborers as the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

Mission Team member, Steve Lasiter, was one of the speakers, and he said, "Every people group deserves to hear the Gospel in their heart language."

Let's pray "that the growing partnership among pastors, church planters, and SBC leaders will continue strengthening ministry efforts and church planting initiatives in the years ahead."

As Steve said, "it starts in our local churches and in our everyday lives. God is already bringing the nations to us."
