Text from this PhotoShow:

Five years ago, Pastor Josiah started a ministry in an area of Tamil Nadu, India. This church building stands as a testimony to God's work there.
When the tsunami hit his area a year ago, Pastor Josiah saw thousands of people lose their homes, families and all hope. But since that time . . .
More than 200 people have come to Christ as a result of GFA World's tsunami relief work in his area.
Ranjan was one of those who came to Christ shortly after the tsunami. He began attending Pastor Josiah's church, and GFA Compassion Services provided him and 16 other survivors with new housing.
His new home is not completely finished, but GFA is working to complete it soon so he and his family can move in.
Maitri, another survivor who received a home through GFA Compassion Services, will soon have the electricity in her new house.
Sadly, a few neighbors living next door started to create problems for Pastor Josiah and his church. They began stirring up local people to do the same.
These neighbors hired a mob to attack Pastor Josiah, surrounding him and his church.
Fortunately, the police came and sent the mob away, leaving Pastor Josiah and his congregation with a newfound faith that the Lord will protect them despite attacks and persecution.
