It's getting worse!!!

The persecution in India is getting much worse!!! Sadly, hundreds more people have been brutally injured and hospitalized. The violence is spreading all over the country as well. It's no longer one isolated area. One of the worst parts is that the Indian government is simply standing by and letting this happen!!! They aren't doing anything to try to stop the violence! It's horrible to hear of these tragedies from a distance and feel so helpless. The only thing we can do is pray. Let's stand together in prayer so that this in-humane nightmare may end!

Urgent Prayer Request from India

Dear Friends,

I urge you to stand with us in prayer, am sure you are aware of the ongoing violence against Christians in Various districts of Orissa a Hindu pre-dominant state. The reason for the sudden escalation of violence is a Hindu priest was killed by the Maoists, for which Christians were made scapegoats by the Hindu activist groups. These Hindu groups were already angered at the growing rate of conversions, and used this incident to unjustly turn against Christians. As a result Christians have been victims of violence instigated by two major Hindu groups by VHP and RSS. They have destroyed 600 churches, killed more than 25 people, 4000 people are hiding in the jungle out of fear for being killed with no water, food or shelter, and thousands are living in relief camps. A nun was gang-raped and murdered, another one was burnt alive. A pastor's throat was slit and he bled to death. Two pastors were killed last week. A handicapped person who couldn't run was burnt alive right before his brother's eyes who was helpless by an angry mob. Thousands of houses have been destroyed. There are endless stories of brutally Christians being tortured for their faith, it's a reality right here in India a so-called democratic secular front.

We want guys on your knees crying for these dear ones and martyrs of the gospel. We don even feel like eating when we hear the news of our brethren under such great persecution.

If u guys would feel led to support the victims , please let me know I know pastors and missionary organizations whom we can channelize it through. Above all pray that God of Elijah would intervene supernaturally and protect his children.

God bless,

Pastor Caleb, India
