Thank you sweetdoll for sharing your heart with us about the need for revival in your country.  The need is great everywhere and we are happy to join you in prayer for the lost in India and all around the world!  God bless you! ♥Carol

hi sweety,my prayers are with you my dear.....dede

 

Thank you for your prayers. There are persecutions in certain parts of India, especially in the northern states of India. Everyday we hear about the churches burnt down and the pastors and evangelists who are beaten , some times killed.  The prayers of the saints only helps us. In certain states they have brought a certain bill called "Anti conversion bill", which prevents forcible conversion. But generally this is misused by certain religious activists groups ( some are political parties) to threaten and attack the missionories and the christian workers. In the state in which I live, there is no such severe opposition. However we do need a lot of prayers.

 

Please continue to pray for us!!!!

 

 

This is   a Mail I just received for prayers:

The Evangelical Fellowship of India requests your prayers for the incidents mentioned below:

Attack on Church of God, Raipur, Chhattisgarh

The Church of God, a large Pentecostal church in Raipur, Chhattisgarh had their 59^th annual convention from October 16^th-21^st 2007. At this convention, 39 baptisms took place.

Dharmsena, a RSS affiliated Hindu nationalist organization filed a complaint to the police on October 20^th (the same day as the baptisms) against this activity. The police came to the church that same evening for investigation. After recording testimonies of those baptized- they clarified that they did not find any case of conversion by force or allurement.

Consequently, the Dharmsena organised a demonstration with clubs in front of the Civil Lines Police Station on Sunday, October 21^st to build pressure on the police and administration. Unidentified persons stoned the church at about 11:30 PM on Monday October 22^nd . An FIR has been registered by the pastor of the church under section 336.

Names and addresses of 75 persons who came from outside to attend the convention and 39 persons who took baptism were recorded by the police. 

Please uphold the church in your prayers. Pray especially for the pastors and believers who are facing further police inquiry.

 

Christians attacked in Kalyanpuri, Delhi

A group of about 30 Hindu fanatics attacked the main speaker, Rev. Ivan Moses and other believers during a Christian meeting on October 28, 2007 in Kalyanpuri, Delhi. 

The two day meeting, attended by around 250 people was organized by Rev. Ravi Samuel from October 27-28^th. 

The last day of the meeting was disrupted by the fanatics as they came in and started shouting anti-Christian slogans. Rev. Moses and a few other believers were attacked but did not sustain injuries. 

Rev. Ravi Samuel informed the Evangelical Fellowship of India that some of the miscreants have been arrested. No formal FIR has been lodged by the Christians in regard to this incident. 

Please pray that the pastors and believers who attended the meeting would remain bold and would continue to grow in their faith. Pray also for their safety.
