Public outcry rises against a Hindu extremists' attack on Christians.

India (MNN)--India tops today's news. 25 Christians were severely beaten by Hindu attackers in the central Indian city of Bhopal. Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Mission India confirms the attack took place during a private prayer meeting on Saturday. President Dave Stravers spoke with us from India.

Christians have been under pressure Madhya Pradesh state for some time. He says they've been monitoring this high profile incident closely. "The Christians here are quite positive about the response. It's one of the first times that we've found that a public attack against Christians there seems to be a rather widespread public condemnation of the attack." Ministry will continue, and Stravers says, "We're praying that Christians will be emboldened because there's no question that the attack was carefully planned. No one is taking any stand against the Christians which is quite unusual. So whoever did this, they're really being marginalized, which is a very interesting reaction."
