Pastor Assaulted by Hindu Extremists
On July 20, Pastor Abraham was assaulted by Hindu extremists in Haveri district, Karnataka state, India. According to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts in India, “During a worship service at Friends Mission Prayer Band Church, in Konvallichawla village, 20 members of a radical Hindu group assaulted Pastor Abraham in the presence of his family and congregation. During the attack the mob destroyed all the Christian literature in the church, including Bibles.”
VOM contacts added that the mob later took Pastor Abraham to a police station to have him arrested. “Due to the intensity of the attack, Pastor Brown collapsed at the police station. He was taken to a local government hospital where he is undergoing treatment for trauma,” VOM contacts said.
Pastor Abraham has led his church for seven years. VOM contacts added, “Christian believers living in this area are under constant fear of attack. This is the third attack in this area in the past two months. The police are sympathetic to the cause of radical Hindus.”
The Voice of the Martyrs encourages you to pray for Pastor Abraham, his church and believers in India. VOM assists believers in India with Christian literature and Bibles for Christian workers like Pastor Abraham. VOM has also provided motorcycles and bicycles to help Christian workers reach more people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
