Webmaster220, will you make the violence impossible to ignore?

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  GIVE TODAY Webmaster220, Last week, I introduced you to Vinita, a young mother in India. Vinita was violently attacked in her own home when radical Hindus heard a pastor had come to her house. For 30 minutes, they beat Vinita, her pastor and his wife with metal rods.  Vinita is an example of the rising violence against believers in the world’s largest democracy. Just last week, we learned that despite strict COVID-19 lockdowns, violence against Christians increased in 2020. The numbers are telling—and disturbing. In 2020, 18 Christians were killed for their faith, compared to eight in 2019. Some 1,676 individual reports of physical abuse against Christians were reported in 2019 while 2020 saw 1,893 beatings.* If you’re like me, you hear about Vinita and see these numbers, and you’re moved to do something about it. That’s why we’ve worked on a simple, yet very powerful, way you can get involved.  The video below captures raw footage (52 seconds) of the violence that broke out when radical Hindus confronted Christians for praying—and it shows you how you can raise your voice and be part of a global movement.  Watch now What we’re asking you to do takes just a few minutes—but it can make such an impact. Simply, take a photo of yourself holding a sign or a piece of paper with the hashtag #StandforTruthIndia and share it on your social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). And follow Open Doors on social media and share these powerful videos with your friends and family—together, we can make a difference for India!  You’ll help spread the message that it’s time to end the violence and discrimination against thousands of followers of Jesus like Vinita in India.  Together, we can make their stories heard.
