Pray for the Devadasis

     In India, there is a group of women called the Devadasis. To put it simply, they are temple prostitutes. When they are only infants they are "married" to the Hindu god Yellamma. Then, when they come of age, they become prostitues. 
     These women don't choose this life for themselves. Their families choose it for them. It is a trap and they are shunned by the rest of society. These women are in need of Savior. Please pray with me for the Devadasis to hear the Word of Christ and to enter into a relationship with the one, true God who gave His life over in order to save them. He loves them and they need to know that.
If you want to hear more about these women, then you can go on the app CompassionNet. It is an app for the IMB that shares ways that you pray for missionaries and for the lost all over the world.
