The last few months we have told you a lot about the growing persecution in India, and so I hope you're continuing to pray for India and the Christians there who are serving the Lord faithfully, even though they are under persecution.
To the drama of the persecuted Christians, the devastated churches, and the burned villages, is added the "preoccupation" of students who risk losing the work of this academic year. In the district of Kandhamal, in the state of Orissa, four months before the exam scheduled for March of 2009, 40 schools are still closed or are being used by refugees and police officers as temporary housing.
And despite an investigation into the persecution of Christians, it continues and our brothers and sisters are suffering in many many ways. Keep on praying.
