Pastor Teras Khaka was beaten by forty members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Hindu militant group when they stormed a prayer meeting in Sehore District on June 16. According to a June 19 report from Compass Direct, when Pastor Khaka lodged a complaint against the attackers, they filed a counter-complaint of forcible conversion against him.

Ask God to give healing to Pastor Khaka. Pray that he will take comfort in the fact that God commends those who suffer for doing good (1 Peter 2:20-21). Pray that the faithfulness of Indian Christians will be a light that draws others to Christ (Matthew 5:14-16).
