(christiansunite.com) - Pastor Babula Changra Paik, another church leader and an elderly man were beaten by approximately fifty Hindu militants during a Sunday morning church worship service at a house church in the city of Bhilai, Chattisgarh.
Church property was damaged and Bibles were torn during the attack. The militants were angered by Pastor Paik's alleged involvement in forcible conversion activities.
Pastor Paik denied these accusations and insisted that he only conducts worship services for local Christians.
Pray for healing for these three Christians. Pray that they will trust God to enable them to proclaim the Gospel even while suffering (2 Timothy 4:16-18).
Pray that those who accuse Pastor Paik of forcible conversion will be silenced.
