Pray for Arrested Believers

[288] prayers in [19] nations have been posted for Christians in India.

Ten Christian workers and three girls under the age of 6 were arrested in the central region of India on Dec. 28 and charged with "deliberate and malicious acts intended to hurt religious feelings." Three Christians are still in prison while the others have been released on bail. They were accused of forcing conversions and insulting the gods and goddesses of the village. Hindu nationalists pressured police to arrest the Christians after a healing celebration, but police have stated that they have no evidence of forced conversions.
