1) 5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs
(We had to list this one at the beginning — because you know, Jesus said, “Sikh ye first.”) This 5-day prayer guide will equip you to pray for Sikhs with love and respect. It’s designed to run during this time of year to correspond, in general, with the celebration of Vaisakhi (April 10-14). The hope is that as you pray through this guide, you will be inspired to trust God to do even more than we can ask or imagine for Sikh people around the world.
