(christiansunite.com) - On August 21, eighteen members of the Davangere Full Gospel Church along with some Bible school students were attacked by approximately fifty Hindu militants while picnicking near Kunduwada Lake, Karnataka. Five believers sustained serious injuries. The militants dragged the Christians to the local police station and lodged a complaint against them for allegedly converting people.
The police detained ten of the believers for questioning. At last report, they were still in custody.
Pray that the believers will display the love of Christ to their Hindu neighbours and trust God for justice (Romans 12:17-21).
Ask God to give healing to those injured. Pray that those detained will soon be released. Pray for wisdom for Indian Christians, as they continue to minister under repressive conditions.
