Update: India Persecution
FROM THE DESK OF DEBORAH COFER
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for our brothers and sisters in India. Many of you may have heard that an anti-Christian mob recently attacked our ministry in India. This tragic event left the local Christian community devastated, without a place to worship, and several members severely injured. The children in our ministry are all safe and were not in the building at the time.
The scripture promises, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, and the Lord delivers them out of all of them." Despite this hardship, the community has found hope and resilience in their faith. Thanks to your support, we have banded together to rebuild, and I am happy to report that they have found a new building to call their own! However, the work is far from over, and the Christians still need support.
The Church members and prayer warriors have shown remarkable strength and courage during this difficult time. These believers have already faced great adversity, but despite this, they continue to inspire with their unwavering faith and commitment to the Lord. Just days after the attack, they traveled to a neighboring community. They handed over 150 Bibles to other Christians who had their Bibles destroyed recently in the anti-Christian violence sweeping the country. This act of faith, kindness, and resilience in adversity inspires us all.
We must do all we can to support these brave Christians and the entire Christian community in India. Your donation will help provide the necessary resources to rebuild and sustain them as they face persecution. Please keep our injured Christian brothers and sisters in your prayers as they recover.
Please join me in donating today, no matter how big or small. Your contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by this tragedy and show our solidarity with our Christian brothers and sisters in India.
Thank you for your continued support.
God Bless you,
