A Desperate Escape

Bangalore, like other cities around the world, is no stranger to problems. During this financial crisis, many families find themselves in insurmountable debt. Individuals find themselves in relationships which are not approved by their families. Regardless of the trials, there has been a growing number of Bangaloreans who are turning to suicide as their out. In a recent newspaper article, Bangalore police records show that through September of 2011 there have been 1,253 suicides in the city this year. This means an average of 139 cases per month.

John 10:10 (NLT)

"The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
"

Pray for all of those struggling in Bangalore. Ask that the enemy would not deceive them and cause them to see suicide as a solution to their problems. Pray that God would intervene, and they would meet the Good Shepherd who laid down his life so they might live.
