Dear Strategic Kingdom Partners,
Happy New Year! As we embark on this journey into a new season, I am filled with gratitude for each one of you and the invaluable support you have extended towards our mission work in South Asia. Your prayers, encouragement, and unwavering commitment have been a source of strength and inspiration as we continue to press forward in fulfilling the Great Commission among the least reached regions of the world.
As we reflect on the year gone by, we are reminded of the countless lives that have been touched and transformed through the power of the gospel. Despite the challenges and obstacles we have faced, your steadfast prayers have paved the way for miracles to unfold, hearts to be opened, and communities to be impacted for eternity.
In the midst of uncertainty and turmoil, your love and dedication towards advancing God's kingdom have remained unwavering. Your sacrificial giving and fervent intercession have been instrumental in bringing hope and healing to those who are lost and broken, demonstrating the transformative power of God's love in action.
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, let us renew our commitment to the Great Commission with even greater zeal and determination. Together, we have the privilege and responsibility to shine the light of Christ in the darkest corners of the earth, proclaiming freedom to the captives and release to the prisoners.
In the coming year, may our hearts be united in prayer and purpose as we seek to reach the unreached and disciple the nations. May we be bold and courageous in sharing the hope that lies within us, knowing that God is faithful to fulfill His promises and His purposes will prevail.
Thank you once again for your unwavering partnership in the gospel. May the Lord bless you abundantly and fill your hearts with joy and peace as you continue to serve Him faithfully in the year ahead
With deep gratitude and affection,
- Ravi Landge

Pray for courage for believers as persecution continues to escalate and certain laws prevent believers from gathering in their homes in some states of South Asia.
Pray that the hearts of various unreached communities will be opened to receive the message of hope & forgiveness as kingdom partners share the gospel.
Pray for our leadership as we expand our vision into new cities and recruit new indigenous partners to engage the uupg amongst us.
Pray as we finalize contracts with builders to initiate the Light House building project that will enable us to equip indigenous partners in good theology and mobilize healthy kingdom workers into the harvest field.
Pray that God will maximize the impact of our work through the power of the Holy Spirit in the darkest corner of our region through the love & compassion of the local church.
8/2/2023 - I wanted to share an updated vision that we have been undertaking to equip indigenous leaders in the country to plant healthy churches. The vision is to build a training center that will allow us to equip/mentor kingdom workers consistently in good theology. The training center will allow us to board 75 students for short term learning courses and host gatherings of 200 people. Thankfully we were able to get access to good parcel of land near Delhi airport and we’ve contracted Christian architects to begin the design. I am attaching the vision and first survey done by the architects. We would love for you all to pray for this vision to bear much fruit in the future and also consider joining in taking part in adopting part of this project as a church. We are estimating a 3-year timeline for the training center to be built & functional.
