Two items from GFA. The first is an update of the Orissa situation filmed on Sept. 15 at the Gospel For Asia site.

Secondly is an in depth write-up of the violence being perpetrated against Christians in India. Head over to the GFA site to read the whole article. Here’s a quick excerpt:

The latest report of violence came September 16 in Uttar Pradesh, a state in north central India, when four GFA missionaries were attacked while handing out tracts. Hindu extremists confronted the missionaries, grabbed their cell phones and used them to make threatening phone calls to the GFA state office. They vehemently told the men to “stop converting Hindus into Christianity” and mercilessly beat the missionaries.

A missionary school in Kerala was also attacked September 15, according to a report issued by the Evangelical Fellowship of India

Uttar Pradesh is home to about 190 million people. You can read more about the state on its wikipedia entry.

Please pray for Christian missionaries worldwide.
