Praying for renewal and refreshing over body and soul today. May God lift the stress and heavy burden, quiet anxious thoughts, and surround each moment with His peace. May rest come gently, strength return little by little, and hope feel close again. Thank you for trusting friends here with this request.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles.
They will run not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
- Isaiah 40:31

By God's grace we are okay, but we hear of unbelievers meetings programs and attack on Christians near to us and throughout this state. But last year on November they locked the door and hit dad, bro.-in-law and another two Pastor when they went to pray for a demon possed lady now they are on bail and thd case will start in court.

I stopped it , because I was distributing among new believers, even we have stopped our house Church. They were about to attack but by God s grace they have not attacked our house Church and we have stopped inviting or praying with new believers.

Yes I was distributing Bibles in our language specially but hve to stop.
You know persecution is increasing more in India. But its more in the state where I am and in the town where I am now.
It was like every Sunday they were attacking 2-3 Churches every Sunday, you here some villages they are not allowing Christians some villages they are not giving water some places they have demolished houses prayers some places they have made out the family who are not converting back to unbelievers, some places they are asking to close christian schools lot of things is happening.


You know some Pastors have stopped their house Churches. They have formed an ungodly team to fight against Christians, Muslims working actively . By God s grace nothing happened but not feeling safe here , I was telling my sister's it was better we should leave this state because lot of things happening against Christians. We should shift to another place or state, if we die or remain in constant fear or problem what God s work we will do.

You see this video dad and bro. -in-law and another 2-3Pastors beaten inside a room and they were taking to police station and were later given bail.
You know dad told they beat in such way that till today dad is having pain and also because of the unbelievers thrashing dad is unwell ( he is also having old age health issues).
You know I made this video dad told me to run away so I ran away. Dad told they were about to pour petrol and burn alive in the room. Dad had been attacked many times , they attacked dad and our house in odisha in 2008 Odisha persecution for this reason only we came to stay here in chhattisgarh state abandoning our house in Odisha.

In the first video you see a person with a stick going to the police in the car and telling to wait or not leave dad and others in the police car.
