Report Documents “Alarming Rise” in Attacks on Christians in India

India flag4/28/17 India  (Premier)

A new report by the All India Christian Council (AICC) has documented an “alarming rise” in attacks on Christians and their places of worship in India. From physical violence to social discrimination to even murder, Christians across India have seen a dramatic rise in attacks and intolerance. According to the AICC report, Christians are attacked every 40 hours in India. Many blame this rise in intolerance and violence on the current BJP-led government and their unwillingness to confront Hindu extremists operating openly across India.

Please pray…

  • Pray that the faith of Christians in India will be strengthened in the midst of this suffering and that they will be filled with God’s peace and protected day by day.
  • Pray that the church buildings will be protected and Christians will be able to continue worshiping there.
  • Pray that the government will no longer overlook the increasing violence against Christians, and that if the BJP Hindu government continues to leave these attacks go unchecked that another political party will come to power that will deal with the persecution forthrightly.
