Prayer Request from Pastor Peter
As I checked my email today, I found a message from our friend Pastor Peter which was sent this past Friday. I am sharing it so that you may pray for our brothers and sister facing persecution. At the conclusion of Pastor Peter's email, you will find his contact information. Perhaps you might even drop him an email or card of encouragement. The text of his message is found below:
Christians attacked - On the evening of 7th February, around 30 Hindu extremists attacked the Shalom Full Gospel Church at Kumbara Halli village, under Hosaur police station of Chittoor district. The activists assaulted Pastor Robert and the congregation of around 300 believers present at the time for the worship service. The extremists later dragged Pastor Robert to Hosaur police station & accused him of forceful conversions. Three believers of the congregation were grievously injured and they are undergoing treatment in Hosadurga government hospital.
In another incident a group of 20 Hindu fundamentalists belonging to RSS attacked Pastor Madhusudan Rao in Oodarevulapalli, under Rajgopal police station. The incident occurred while Pastor Madhusudan Rao was conducting worship meeting in his house which was attended by 45 believers. The attackers barged inside and disrupted the worship and started beating the worshipers, the believers sustained minor injuries. The activists then ordered Christians present there to pray to Hindu gods and even burnt their bibles.
We request your prayers for the believers injured in the attack and for the authorities to take proper action against the culprits.Your brothers and sisters in bondage of Christ,Pastor Peter & Helen,DAWN Ministries,1-1-592/F 1st Floor, GandhinagarHyderabad-500080, A.P.,IndiaEmail: sjpeter_dawn@yahoo.comWebsite: www.dawn-ministries.org
