Missionaries occasionally face false accusation and police interrogation.
Pastor Galav shepherds a small congregation similar to this one. |
Pastor Galav Yadav has been faithfully discipling a thriving fellowship of believers, but his ministry has attracted negative attention from anti-Christian forces.
On May 1, police arrested Pastor Galav after villagers had filed a complaint against him, accusing him of forcing people to convert to Christianity. God answered prayers, however, and the police released Galav the same night.
But villagers continue to oppose his work. They threatened to kill him unless he abandons his ministry and leaves the village.
The believers whom Pastor Galav has been shepherding support him. They encouraged him to continue leading them.
Please pray for the following:
- Protection for Pastor Galav and his family
- Salvation for those who oppose Pastor Galav, including the village leader
- Spiritual strength for the believers in the village
