About Me

Bangalore is a city of approximately 10 million people from many religious and cultural backgrounds. We ask you to take part in blessing this city by praying regularly for the people who live here. We long for the day when representatives from every nation, tribe, people and tongue in Bangalore will join us around the throne in heaven. Your prayers will help make this vision a reality!

Happy Birthday, Karnataka!

In South India, there is tremendous linguistic diversity. On November 1, 1956, the Kannada speaking regions were grouped together to form the state of Karnataka. Kannada Rajyotsava is the yearly celebration of this event.

The capital city is full of lights and flags as the birth of the state is commemorated. Join in the festivities by asking God's blessings on this state. Ask God to give them the gift of repentance and sorrow over sin. Pray that corruption would be brought into the light and that leaders would rule in righteousness. Pray that Bangalore would be a city that turns radically to Christ and leads the entire state to be reconciled to God.
