VOILENCE AGAINST CHRISTIAN IN SECOND MONTH

India: Violence against Christians in Second Month
Mission News Network reports that anti-Christian violence in India continues unabated into its second month, even as President Bush met with India's Prime Minister this week. MNN reported Friday that mobs vandalized a church and dozens of houses in Orissa state in spite of a forced curfew. Concerns are mounting that politicians are subtly encouraging the attacks. Lee DeYoung with Words of Hope said, "It seems that any gains that are made in that country are met with fierce opposition, and that opposition is organized and even is allied in some ways with political parties. So this is going to be a continuing test for the church in India." With national ministries facing disruption, DeYoung says they are sharing the Gospel through Hindi radio programs from outside of the country.

My dear friends thankyou so much for your prayers. Please continue to pray for India.
