MUMBAI

INDIA
Go Back

I live in Mumbai—a city that never sleeps, where dreams rise as tall as the skyscrapers and heartbreak runs as deep as the sea that borders our shores. Every morning, I walk past streets overflowing with people—some chasing success in gleaming offices, others just trying to survive another day. The trains are packed, the air hums with ambition and struggle, and yet behind every face, I sense a quiet longing for something more—for Someone more.

Mumbai is a city of extremes. In one neighborhood, luxury towers scrape the sky; in another, entire families share a single room in the slums. The noise of industry and the pulse of commerce never stop, yet so many hearts remain silent in their pain. I often think about how easily people get lost here—not just in the crowds, but in the chaos of life without hope.

What breaks my heart most are the children—the countless boys and girls who wander the stations and streets alone, their innocence stolen by poverty or neglect. Sometimes I stop to talk or pray with them, and I wonder what Jesus feels as He looks upon this city He loves so deeply.

But even in the weight of all this brokenness, I can see the Spirit moving. Quietly, powerfully. Followers of Jesus are rising up with compassion—feeding the hungry, rescuing the lost, and bringing light to dark places. I believe revival is possible here, not just in churches, but in film studios, in textile mills, in marketplaces, and in the hearts of those who’ve never heard His name.

I am here to love, to pray, to be His witness in this city of dreams and despair. I long to see Mumbai bow before Jesus—to see the rich and the poor, the powerful and the forgotten, find their true identity in Him, the only One who can bring beauty from the chaos and peace to every restless heart.

With so many churches across languages and denominations, ask God to knit His people together as one family—bold in love, steadfast in prayer, and powerful in witness throughout the city.
