Areas of Andhra Pradesh, India may ban preaching

India (MNN) -- Violence against Christians is widespread in India. Laws have even been enacted to put pressure on believers. It appears that's what's happening in yet another state. Voice of the Martyrs Todd Nettleton. "A bill is going to be introduced in the state assembly of Andhra Pradesh State, which is in southern India, banning the preaching of any other religion near a Hindu temple." Christian evangelism in the temple town of Terupati has angered Hindus. "Radical Hindus see the church growing. They see Hindus coming to know Christ, particularly among the Dalits, or the untouchables." While violence has claimed the lives of Christians, VOM is helping. "Voice of the Martyrs has what we call, 'The Families of Martyrs Fund.' Money from that fund goes to provide financial support to the families of those who have been killed for their faith. It also provides support for those when a family member is imprisoned as well." Go our website if you'd like to contribute to the 'Families of Martyrs Fund.'
