Cyclone Bulbul
Pray for Bangladesh and India
Join us in prayer as Cyclone Bulbul causes widespread destruction across Bangladesh and India, leaving millions displaced.
Urgent prayer is needed for the millions of people across Bangladesh and India who have been displaced by Cyclone Bulbul.
Winds of up to 120 km/h were reported as the cyclone hit the coastal regions of Bangladesh and India on Saturday night, bringing with it torrential rain and life-threatening gales. 24 people are reported to have lost their lives after being struck by uprooted trees or falling branches.
Airports and ferry ports have been closed across both countries, with Shah Kamal, Bangladesh’s Disaster Management Secretary, sharing that evacuated residents had been moved to more than 5,500 cyclone shelters.
BMS World Mission is maintaining regular contact with all personnel in Bangladesh and India to ensure their safety as the storm moves north and continues to weaken.
Urgent prayer is needed for the millions who have been forced to flee their homes because of the storm.
Pray for Bangladesh and India
- Pray for those involved in recovery and relief programmes to act swiftly to help those affected by the storm. Pray that they would have wisdom as they decide where best to allocate resources and personnel.
- Pray for the local authorities, particularly those in coastal regions most affected by the storm, to have wisdom and resilience during this time.
- Pray that BMS World Mission workers in the region would be kept safe, and that they would be a source of great comfort and strength to those around them.
- Pray for those who have lost loved ones or who are looking after those affected by the storm. Pray that God would console them and give them strength.
