Pray for the release of these Christians. Ask God to give them and other suffering believers in India grace, wisdom and endurance as they serve Him (1 Peter 5:10). To learn more about those suffering for Christ's sake in India, go to the India Country Report. |
Police arrested four Christians on false charges of forcible conversion in the village of Kushalpura, Madhya Pradesh, India on January 5. At approximately 10:00 a.m., Pastor Kantilal Bhuria (35) went to the home of a local Christian where 25 believers were gathered for prayer. During the service, a mob of Hindu militants barged into the house and accused Pastor Bhuria of forcibly converting Hindus. The militants verbally abused those present and beat a Christian woman. The police arrived on scene after receiving a phone call from the attackers and arrested four believers. At last report, these Christians remained in detention.
