May 7, 2025 • 21 mins

In this urgent episode, we focus on the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. With over 1.65 billion lives potentially affected, this episode explores the background and implications of India's recent military strikes against its neighbour, accusations of Pakistani support for the attack on civilians in Kashmir two weeks ago, and the deep-rooted conflict that threatens a possible escalation into war. Join us as we look at where our collective power in intention and prayer is now urgently needed to avoid a flashpoint turning into an escalation into a bitter war.

Suggested Intention Focus for this week

This week, as relations between India and Pakistan have intensified to a level not seen for many years, we suggest holding as our main intention:

We will that wisdom will prevail among all who have influence in the military command and within or upon the governments of India and Pakistan to determine a forward path that avoids escalation of their conflict at all costs.

Please join us in holding this.

Intentions and prayers start at 18 minutes 30 seconds.
