In Jesus' Name!
Hindu extremists believe that all Indians should be Hindus, and that the country should be rid of Christianity and Islam. They use extensive violence to achieve this goal, particularly targeting Christians from a Hindu background. Christians are accused of following a "foreign faith" and blamed for bad luck in their communities. These believers are often physically attacked and sometimes killed, as well as placed under constant pressure from their family and community to return to Hinduism. If they do not "reconvert" they may be boycotted by their community, with a devastating effect on their ability to earn income. Many believers are isolated and don't know any other Christians.
Christians are persecuted in all areas of public and private life, and anti-conversion laws (currently in nine states, with more considering adoption) are abused to harass and intimidate Christians. Few people are actually convicted under these laws, but cases can drag on for years.
Praise God that many are coming to faith in India through miraculous healings and the courageous witness of India's Christians. Pray that this will continue, and many more will come to know Jesus.
Pray for protection for our brothers and sisters, especially those who are new Christians, and those who live in rural areas and are particularly isolated. Pray God will help their families and communities to accept their new faith.
Ask God to continue to work through Open Doors partners to bring practical support and encouragement to those who are most in need of help. Pray for wisdom and energy for Open Doors partners and ask God to protect them as they carry out this vital work, particularly during the pandemic.
Thank you all so much for praying for our persecuted family like the Bible tells us to in Hebrews 13.3 and other verses. May Adonai reward you for your faithfulness in this world and the world to come.
