Persecutions
Sent in by a ministry partner:
We have been following the on-going persecutions in the Indian state of Orissa. Tens of thousands of Christians have been forced out of their homes and into refugee camps or into the jungles. Two hundred churches and Christian ministries have been destroyed. At least 58 Christians have been killed violently. And the radical elements have said they will prevent any Christmas celebrations from happening anywhere in Orissa. Those of us who are following the OneYear Bible recently read Hebrews 13:3: "Continue to remember those in prison [think of the refugee camps; people are not allowed to leave them] as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." May that guide the way we pray.
