Pray for my Hindu neighbors

We have these wonderful Hindu neighbors in our apartment complex. We will be moving in 4 or 5 weeks. Before that, we will be guests at their table and later they will be guess at ours in our own home.

When we have to be gone for a weekend, their 6 year old daughter waters our flowers. Her name is Bra-thee (pronounce breathy which means "Promise"). She did such a good job we gave her a planter of blooming flowers.

Now I find out that they use the flowers we gave her to decorate the idols of their god. Who would have thought? My gift of flowers now is a gift to their god. YIKES

They are Hindu's but they do not believe in reincarnation. They use logic, they do not know what happens after death. You just die, mom said. They live their lives to do good. That is their purpose for living.

Will you pray for mom and dad, Bra-thee and Bra-haul (means Joy) to meet Jesus! Over the next years we are reaching out to them and we pray a strong relationship with be watered with the Holy Spirit.

Pray, will you?

They would need no flowers for their idols if they had Jesus!

We also have Hindu neighbours and are interacting with them regularly. Please pray for ours also. They are Situ, Shalish and Sonal.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the maker of the flowers became their centre of worship?
