Summary

SummaryI’m Pastor Laxman from India. One day, Hindu extremists accused me of forcing conversions and even threatened to bulldoze my home. They showed me a blank paper and forced my signature, then arrested me during a prayer meeting of 250 believers. At the police station, they beat me mercilessly, and I thought all hope was lost. In the midst of my pain, I heard a sweet voice quoting, β€˜Do not be afraid, for I am with you.’ Suddenly, fear vanished, and I found supernatural courage. After six days in prison, I returned to find my church building destroyedβ€”and yet my determination stood firm. Thanks to Open Doors’ local partners, we set up a chicken farm so I can support my family and ministry. Today, we still gather in small groups, trusting that no one can stop what the Lord has begun. πŸ™βœ¨


In the #Indian state where Pastor Laxman* lives, an anti-conversion law is in place to prevent people from leaving one faith for another. After his church grew from three to 250 members, Hindu extremists began accusing Laxman of forcing people to convert.
