(christiansunite.com) - On the evening of December 5, Pastor Nandu Rathod (38) was returning from a Bible study in the Gadag district of Karnataka, India when he was stopped by 10-15 men. The men asked him if he was a Christian preacher and accused him of forcibly converting people. They severely beat him, fracturing his ribs and legs and left him with serious internal injuries.
Believing he was dead, they left him on the side of the road. Others passing by found him and took him to a hospital where he received treatment.
Pray for a full and quick recovery for Pastor Nandu. Pray that those responsible for this attack will come to understand and accept the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ, as the Apostle Paul did (Acts 9:1-19).
