INDIA
Ron Penny requests prayer for 32 yr old Christian worker Gabba Singh, who works in Gwalior. Gabba is in intensive care after being injured in a hit-and-run accident caused by a drunk driver. He was travelling in a rickshaw and the rickshaw driver was also badly injured. The police are looking for the other driver, but if he does not have insurance, Gabba and the local assembly will face huge medical bills. Gabba has multiple fractures in his leg, which now has 22 stitches. Please pray for his wife Bhagabati and their two young children. 23/8
