Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for the followers of Christ among the Sherpa, that they will fully trust the finished work of Christ on the cross, and also trust His Spirit to give them abundant life.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the Sherpa peoples will increasingly desire to know the Son of the creator God. Pray also for their physical and material welfare.
