This weekend (26th - 29th September), the Presbyterian Free Church in Central India are holding the 2nd Annual Youth Retreat at Lakhnadon Mission School. The theme will be ‘Awake…and Christ shall give you light’ (Eph. 5:14) and the main speaker will be Mr Manish Moses.

The Youth Retreat organiser, Rev. Samit Mishra (pictured opposite), says they expect to have 80-90 young people from all the PFC Churches and among them will be at least 35-40 from surrounding villages. There will also be an evening Open Air gospel meeting for three consecutive evenings for the local congregation and other people.

The dates for the Retreat clash with the dates of the Hindu Festival, Dashahra. At this time, Hindus refrain from food and worship the goddess ‘Durga’ continually for nine days. There will be a statue of goddess Durga located, for these nine days, just in front of Lakhnadon Mission High School. Rev. Samit Mishra has asked that we pray that they “may have God’s wisdom and strength as they organise the Retreat at this toughest time of Hindu religious calendar”.
