According to the Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI), on September 1 a church and 82 houses were burned in Mandasara, Kandhamal district and two Christians were killed. The Orissa Missionary Movement Church in Jeypore, Koraput district was also burned down, and a Blessing Youth Mission pastor was beaten up and his bike burned. Please continue to uphold the believers in Orissa in prayer. Pray that, in their sufferings, they will draw near to the Lord, trusting Him to meet their needs (2 Cor. 1:3-5). Pray for comfort for those who have lost loved ones. For more information on the persecution of Christians in India, go to the India Country Report. |
