[GFA Update] Pray for Delayed Dalit Court Case
------------------------------------------------------
October 26, 2005
------------------------------------------------------
Dear Aaltje,
The Indian Supreme Court has once again delayed its decision on the
Dalit civil rights case, and again it is time for me to ask you to please
pray without ceasing on behalf of our Dalit Christian brothers and
sisters.
This delay until November is a positive development because it means
that the Court is not rushing to judgment, and is taking seriously this
case of discrimination against Dalit Christians.
It also means that Christians like you and me have more time to
intercede with prayer, asking God to guide the thoughts and decisions of the
judges. And this is especially important, because behind this case lies
a Himalaya-sized spiritual battle!
Jesus tells us that this kind of battle can only be won through prayer
and fasting. So I implore you to take this call to prayer very
seriously. And much is at stake.
As you know, under the current law, Dalits lose some of their basic
constitutional rights when they becomes Christians; they are no longer
eligible for affirmative action placements in education, employment,
government and many other areas--rights granted to Dalits who are Hindu,
Sikh or Buddhist.
According to a government census, some 20 million Dalits have become
Christians, and it is on their behalf that we pray for a just ruling.
Equally important, there are many Dalits whose only hesitation to becoming
Christians is fear of this legalized discrimination. Just think of what
a difference this court decision could make for them! No wonder Satan
is opposing it.
So again, please continue to fast and pray that the Supreme Court of
India will correct these injustices. Please faithfully intercede and
pray with a broken heart for the sake of these millions of men, women and
children who suffer so much.
Thank you so much for your prayer support--you are a true "prayer
warrior" in this battle.
Yours for His name's sake,
