INDIA: For Persecuted Christians, Imprisonment is Opportunity

Christian talk radio with Todd Nettleton

During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the White House, US President Joe Biden and other American leaders failed to address the rapid rise of Christian persecution and other religious freedom violations in India since Modi and his Hindu nationalist party came to power in 2014. Brother Raj, a ministry leader from India, shared his experience with Christian persecution on VOM Radio, including friends that turned their backs on him after he came to faith and repeated encounters with Indian police. He also shared how he grew up in a Hindu family but became depressed and attempted suicide before a friend—a Hindu—encouraged him to seek baptism at a Christian church. Raj now shares Christ with anyone, even the police, and encourages new believers to be ready to face persecution by trusting in God’s promises in the Bible. Pray fellow believers in India will share their faith with wisdom and courage.
