Summary

SummaryI felt terror the moment they snatched my six-month-old daughter from my arms and beat us mercilessly with rods. My pastor’s wife lay brokenβ€”her foot and hand fracturedβ€”and for three days at the hospital we were denied treatment because of pressure from our attackers. My heart cried out in prayer each day, trusting God for a miracle. Then, through the timely help of ministry partners, urgent care was finally provided, and my pastor’s wife’s life was spared. Today, I stand forgiven of my enemies, clinging to Jesus’ words, β€˜Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’

Christians in India have been struck down not just by the pandemic, but by extremists, whose goal is to wipe out Christianity from India. Hindu extremists use anti-Christian propaganda and lies, stirring up others to take aggressive actions of discrimination and violent persecution. Vinita is one believer who was targeted for her faith.

It is unthinkable that the church can be destroyed in the world’s largest democracy. It is time to act – it’s time to #StandForTruthIndia.

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
