A pastor and seven others were assembling relief packages for the poor in the area, when they were accused & detained for gathering for worship in numbers forbidden under the COVID-19 restrictions.
The pandemic lockdown has been the hardest on the poor who are unable to obtain food and other necessities. So Pastor Ramesh and several church families, pooled their own resources, and gathered in a home, to pack gifts to be distributed to the poor in the area when they were taken in for violating the lockdown restrictions.
Pastor Ramesh and the group were eventually released after the intervention of the village head, Kallu.
Pray that all charges against Pastor Ramesh and the other members who assisted him with the humanitarian relief efforts will be dropped.
Pray that God will multiply whatever little resources they have so that many more will be blessed.
Pray for God’s blessings and protection to be upon them as they seek ways to continue reaching out to the community with His love and compassion.
Do share this prayer request.
