(christiansunite.com) - Three daughters of Pastor Abraham Burdhan were molested by Hindu militants and chased down by a tractor while on their way to school in Nuagada Village, Orissa on September 12. The assailants were the same militants who attacked and seriously injured their father in late March (see www.persecution.net/news/india212.html). This attack has made other local believers' children fearful to attend school.
Over the past month, armed Hindu mi litants in the area have been daily threatening Christians and are determined to kill all believers in the village.
Ask God to give these girls healing from the emotional and physical scars of their assault and fill their hearts with His love (Matthew 5:43-44). Pray that Christians in this area will rely on God to be their Protector and Guide in this time (Psalm 46:1).
