PRAY for Deliverance

Brother Raju (right) is praying specifically for the man in this photo. He is the grandfather of a 12 year old girl we are helping with education, Akshaya (sitting next to her grandfather). The grandmother also is there (Akshaya lives with her grandparents...long story). The grandfather, Yacobu (which is Jacob in English), has been addicted to alcohol and cigarettes for many years. The doctors recently told him that if he takes another drink, he will surely die (his kidneys are beginning to fail). He apparently hasn't drank for a week or 2, but is still smoking. Although he hasn't taken care of his family properly, Akshaya has much love for her grandfather. Pray for His deliverance, and that He will understand that there is One Who satisfies so much more than anything this foolish world has to offer. 

John 4:13-14, "JESUS answered and said to her, 'Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
