Countries:

Brazil

Brazil is one-half of the land surface and population of South America. The world’s fifth largest country in both area and population. It is a melting pot of nations, with much intermarriage and blending of the many immigrant ethnicities. Most Brazilians have at least some mixed ethnic heritage.

Sustained strong growth has stabilized the economy. One great challenge will be to increase agricultural space without traumatizing the Amazon and Pantanal ecosystems, stewardship vs exploitation. There remains a vast gap between rich and poor, but is has improved significantly. The residual bias to Catholicism in government circles is decreasing as the influence of the evangélicos grows.

India

Geographically and politically, India dominates South Asia and the Indian Ocean with 28 Union States and 7 Union Territories. Kashmir is a contested area administered by Pakistan and China.

India’s constitution provides full religious freedom of worship and witness for all religions. The rise of Hindutva extremist resulted in a hate campaign against Muslims in the early 1990s and against Christians in the late 1990s as followers of ‘foreign” religions. Due to mass-conversion movements by Dalit groups away from Hinduism, and to evangelistic activities by Christian groups, issues of conversion and anti-conversions laws are high importance and sensitivity. Persecution levels range widely, depending on the strength of Hindutva groups from one state to the next.

Israel

The state of Israel is 20,700 sq. km, with an additional 7,540 sq. km. from the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan Heights which has been controlled by Israel since 1967. Six wars with surrounding states in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982-1985, and 2006, plus the Gaza War in 2009 have kept the country on a war footing. Repeated military engagement in Lebanon, the rising pressure of Palestinian civil unrest, the intifada, civil unrest, and increased threat from Iran have sapped Israeli stamina. The Israeli society remains deeply divided.

All religions are free to minister within their own communities. Reform and Conservative Jews are often marginalized by ultra-Orthodox influence, which applies constant pressure to limit freedom of religion through anti-conversion laws and persecution of Messianic Jews.

Palestine

The Palestine Authority is 6,243 sq. km. comprising of two separate parts, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Palestine Authority controls the main towns and scattered enclaves. Jewish settler enclaves and Israeli military authorities control the rest. Much economic activity is limited to small family businesses. Restricted travel and access to water and power supplies undermines industry and foreign investments. The Palestine administration has offered few economic solutions thus far.

International efforts to achieve a compromise settlement of the bitter confrontations between Israelis and Palestinians have only a small chance of overcoming the deadly stalemate. Political struggles continue and Israeli occupation and Islamist persecution is squeezing out the Christian minority.

Pray that we’d get the tubes and all the materials needed as well as funding to fix the problem. Water is an extremely important need in order to function for all these ministries. Thanks for your prayers.
