About ten families living in Bara Chomri Village, Madhya Pradesh, were denied government rations because of their faith in Christ. On 26th January, these families were summoned to a village gathering where they were pressured to renounce their Christian faith failing which they would be denied provisions that are being given to the poor.
The families came to faith in Christ four years ago and have faced harassment and abuse ever since. About eight months ago, a visiting pastor was leading a worship service when believers were attacked by a group of thugs. The pastor was taken into custody and questioned but eventually released with a warning never to enter that village again.
Pray for these ten impoverished families – that God will provide for and meet all their practical and emotional needs (Phil 4:19). Pray that they will find peace and comfort in the Lord and continue to trust in Him.
