(mah-huh-RAHSH-truh) – A few months ago, a believing brother in the southern part of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Pastor Sam, got word from one of his church members that some of his neighbors had filed a police report against him, claiming that he was converting people to Christianity, because they were angry about his church meeting. This led to Pastor Sam and his family having to go into hiding for a couple of weeks until a local advocate could help them pay bail to avoid being arrested. During this time, through the faithfulness of the church members continuing to share with them, one of the neighbors who filed the report came to faith in Christ! A group of believers recently met to encourage Pastor Sam, and they were praising God that amid persecution, the gospel continues to prevail! Pray that Pastor Sam and his church will continue to stand strong and see many around them believe because of their faithfulness.
