Beating Retreat

Picture from TheHindu.com
In 16th century England, the Beating Retreat was used to recall patrolling units to their castles. In India it is a ceremony conducted on the evening of January 29 to officially close out Republic Day celebrations. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The President of India is the primary guest.

Bangalore is home to many military bases and personnel. Today please pray for those serving in the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force who are stationed in Bangalore. Pray for Christian military personnel to live out their faith in authenticity. Ask God to use them to draw others to himself. Ask God to grow these men and women into mighty warriors for His kingdom who will impact the entire country for His sake.
