Pray for Christians Attacked at a Festival

[420] prayers in [22] nations have been posted for Christians.

Hindu extremists attacked believers at a Christian peace festival on Feb. 24 in New Delhi, injuring many in attendance. The extremists used iron rods, sticks and axes to destroy most of the electronic equipment before working their way into the crowd. Although the organizers had received approval for police protection, no police arrived until after the Hindu extremists had fled. Please pray that the injured will recover quickly, and pray for the organizers as they consider filing charges.

  • Father, the irony of violence against those who were celebrating peace. But Lord Jesus, You the Prince of Peace also suffered violence at the hands of Your enemies. And You forgave them. May these Christian brothers and sisters forgive those who attacked them, living out the message of the Cross before the villagers as a visual picture before them.
