[Today's Prayer] Another stampede at a Hindu festival in India... "At least 15 dead"

At least 15 people died in a stampede at the Kumbh Mela, the world's largest religious festival and Hindu festival held in India.

According to local media and AFP on the 29th (local time), the accident occurred at around 2:00 AM that day in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, when tens of thousands of people rushed at once and a barrier collapsed.

In addition to the 15 dead, dozens were injured, and some are reported to be in critical condition.

Hindus believe that they can wash away their sins by bathing in water and achieve liberation from the cycle of reincarnation.

Authorities estimate that a total of 450 million people will visit during this festival.

Stamping accidents occur relatively frequently at religious events in India.

Last July, 116 people died in a stampede at a Hindu festival in Uttar Pradesh.

“He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury.” (Romans 2:6-8)

We hear news that at least 15 people died in a stampede at the Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held in India.

Many souls lose their lives every year due to stampedes and drowning accidents during the festival without knowing the truth.

Lord, who rewards each person according to what they have done, please have mercy on the souls of India who are dying without knowing the truth.

We hope that the Indian people will not believe in false religions and follow injustice, but will become those who know only the truth, Jesus Christ, and follow His path.

Lord, please use the Indian church to comfort all the families who have lost their family members, and now may they rise up together and follow the truth!

May the souls of India rise up as the Indian church that goes out to the nations with the gospel until all nations return to the Lord!

May 1 million missionaries from India rise up and unite their hearts and minds with the global church to prepare the way for the Lord to come!
