(christiansunite.com) - A Christian named Amos was killed in the Hosu District, Tamil Nadu on July 29. Two men arrived at Amos' house and interrogated him and his family about his brother, Pastor Paul Chinnaswamy. Amos' wife and mother-in-law told the men that Amos was a Christian and confirmed that he was Pastor Chinnasamy's elder brother.
The men then beat Amos with a club and threatened to kill the three small children present if the women did not throw stones at him. Fearing the men, the woman complied.
Pray for comfort for those who mourn the loss of Amos. Pray that Christ will be exalted through this tragedy and that people in India will come to know Him as Lord (Philippians 1:20).
