Unga said that after the loss of his son, he was filled with fear and grief. “But now,” he said, “we are strengthened in the Lord.”
Join other Christians in praying for our persecuted family members, like Unga, who have experienced profound loss for their Christian witness. Pray also that the gospel will continue to advance in India.
Father, we praise the majesty of Your holy name!
As Your kingdom advances in India, may Your truth supplant the false religion, ideology and nationalism rooted in the hearts and minds of hundreds of millions.
Thank You, Father, for the forgiveness that Unga and other persecuted Christians demonstrate toward those who oppose them. May the love they express win their persecutors to You, so that they, too, will seek to advance Your kingdom in every village.
May our Christian brothers and sisters in India be blessed with Your provision of housing, work, food and any other needs. We ask You, Father, also to provide healing to those who have suffered trauma from persecution.
Thank You for the bonds we share with our brothers and sisters in India through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ. May we live more boldly for Him today as we are inspired by their example! Amen.
Christians in India are facing increased opposition from Hindu nationalists who seek to eradicate their witness for Christ and establish a “pure” Hindu nation. Despite beatings, arrests and even the murder of loved ones, persecuted believers in India continue to faithfully advance God’s kingdom. By praying and giving to meet their needs, we can encourage them as they faithfully share the gospel at great cost.
Your gift will help Christians in India who have suffered persecution or whose family members have been killed or imprisoned because of their Christian witness.
