What is Breakthrough Prayer Strategy?<\/h3>

\"\"Breakthrough<\/em>\u00a0is the prayer strategy of Naya Jeevan ministry. Our goal is to raise up prayer laborers to intercede for South Asia (including the worldwide South Asian diaspora) and for Naya Jeevan as a ministry working among South Asians.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

\"\"Why the name Breakthrough?<\/span><\/h3>

The dictionary defines \u201cbreakthrough\u201d as a decisive victory after a period of struggle. In Luke 18 Jesus teaches the parable of the persistent widow that illustrates this concept. Although the word \u201cbreakthrough\u201d is not used in this passage, the idea is definitely there. The widow persisted through a period of struggle until she got her decisive victory \u2013 justice in her case \u2013 and this is our model of prayer.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Why focus on South Asia?<\/span><\/h3>

\"\"<\/span>Nearly HALF of the world\u2019s remaining Unreached People Groups (2,329 groups) live in this region of seven countries, comprising 23% of the world\u2019s population. 15.5 million Indians have moved abroad, the world\u2019s largest diaspora population. This figure would double if you count second and third generation children of migrants. Sadly, South Asians abroad remain almost as unreached as they are in their home countries. They are still waiting to hear the Good News of Jesus for the FIRST time! More encouraging is the fact that most South Asians have no objection to Jesus and welcome prayer in the name of Jesus. Many precious people trust Jesus as they experience His power and love exhibited through the lives of praying and caring Christian friends.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

We start with the basics of prayer, go deeper into the topics of intercession and spiritual warfare and end with practical tips to enliven your prayer life, and the application of prayer as an outreach tool in the South Asian context. However, SYPS is not for South Asians only! All believers will be blessed by this biblical teaching.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

DAY WITH THE LORD<\/strong><\/h3>

\"\"Periodically, we encourage believers to set aside anywhere from two hours to a whole day for a special personal retreat we call “Day with the Lord.” This is a time of worship, intercession, study, and devotion beyond your normal quite time. From 2018 to 2023 we produced handbooks with ideas and resources for our Prayer Laborers to make this time meaningful. Why not choose a day several times a year and make use of these handbooks to enhance your prayer life?<\/p>
