When Preetha* woke up in a hospital, the first thing she felt was pain throughout her body. Though she couldn’t remember what had happened, she knew she was seriously injured.
Soon, the images of people shouting and metal pipes coming down on her hands came flooding back.
Preetha and her husband, a pastor, had come to pray with a believer in their church when a group of angry drunk men barged into the home, shouting, “Where are the Christians?”
Now, Preetha was fighting for her life, waiting to be treated. Her son sat next to her bed.
Through tears, he told his mother, “I don’t know what we’re going to do. The doctors are saying they won’t treat you because we’re Christians.”
That’s when our local partners in India stepped in...
Our field tells us these types of violent home invasions are increasing as Hindu extremists seek to position themselves politically.
Today in the world’s largest democracy, Indian Christians live with the reality that even a simple prayer meeting in their homes can lead to sudden attacks and blatant discrimination. More than ever, our sisters and brothers need to know they’re not alone.
Through your prayers and gifts, you were there with Preetha—reminding her that she has a worldwide Church supporting her.
Preetha told us, “Without your help, I would have died.”
Thank you for stepping into your sister's life—and the lives of millions of others who suffer for their faith.
Best,

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
