Pray for Six Christian Leaders Recently Released from Prison

[371] prayers in [17] nations have been posted for Christian Leaders.

Six house church leaders were released on Oct. 16–17 after being detained for a month on false charges that they forced Hindus to convert to Christianity. The five men and one woman rejoiced that during their time in jail they were able to share the gospel with fellow prisoners. The arrests occurred soon after state officials in Jharkhand state passed the strictest anti-conversion law in India. Many Christians in Jharkhand state fear increased persecution as a result of the new law. Pray that the six church leaders will continue their work and use their testimony to boldly share the gospel. Also pray for the courage of other Christians in Jharkhand state.
