Prayer Fuel

Field Team Daily Prayer Request:

Eternal God, we pray for “Ashok” today and the movement that he serves in Siliguri, India. Thank You for appointing him and directing him in this ministry. We pray that, God, You would raise up other leaders underneath him to multiply the work.

According to Your Word in Ephesians 1:22–23, all things have been placed by You under the feet of Your Son Jesus. And You have appointed Him the head over everything, and that includes Your church. We pray then, with great faith for “Ashok,” asking that this authority would be extended to him as he ministers in northern India. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

110 City Focus: Siliguri, India

I live in Siliguri, a city where borders meet and worlds collide. Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas, our streets are alive with the sounds of many tongues—Bengali, Nepali, Hindi, Tibetan—and faces from every direction. Refugees arrive here from Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Tibet, carrying stories of loss and longing, of journeys through both danger and hope. Every day, I see how fragile life can be—and how deeply people hunger for peace, the kind of peace only Jesus can give.

Siliguri is called the “Gateway to the Northeast,” and I often think about how true that is in more ways than one. This city connects nations—it could also become a gateway for the Gospel, flowing from here through India and beyond. Yet, the brokenness runs deep. Poverty presses hard. Children sleep in bus stations. Families bear invisible wounds from generations of displacement and division.

Still, even amid the weariness, I sense God’s Spirit moving. I see quiet conversations about faith, small gatherings of prayer in back rooms, hearts beginning to hope again. Jesus is here—walking the crowded markets, sitting beside the weary, whispering His love into forgotten places.

I am here to be His hands and feet—to love the refugee, the tired worker, the wandering child. My prayer is that Siliguri will become more than a border city—that it will be a place where heaven touches earth, where His light pierces the mist, and where the nations that pass through these streets will encounter the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.
