ANTI-CHRISTIAN GROUP BEATS, KIDNAPS 2 NATIVE PASTORS IN INDIAAnti-Christian elements in east-central India’s Chattisgarh region beat and kidnapped two native missionary pastors serving with Gospel for Asia Tuesday, Oct. 5, as they were preparing to baptize 32 new believers. After beating the two missionaries, named Tulsiram and Vijay, the attackers dragged them out of the village and took them to an unknown location. The kidnapping was part of a plan to “stop them from continuing ministry in the village.” Vijay managed to escape and ran nearly 25 miles to tell the GFA district leader about the incident. The district leader informed GFA’s Chattisgarh state office and rushed to the village where the kidnapping took place, hoping to secure Tulsiram’s release. His whereabouts are still unknown. Tulsiram graduated from a GFA Bible college in 2001 and began his ministry among an unreached group. The 32 believers whom Tulsiram planned to baptize were the first converts as a result of his ministry in the village.Pray for brave hearts for the sake of a growing testimony.Pray for brave hearts for the sake of the salvation of men in authority.From the news flow at Intercessors Network
