PERSECUTION IN INDIA

Pastor Beaten, Abducted, Missing
(26 November 2008)

Madhya Pradesh, India
A Gospel for Asia native missionary serving as a pastor in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has been beaten and abducted and is still missing.

GFA leaders in the state report that Pastor N. Chauhan was attacked by a mob of 40 anti-Christian extremists on Monday, beaten severely and then dragged into the forest. Attempts to contact him have failed, and no word of his fate has been received.

When a GFA leader tried to call Pastor Chauhan on his mobile phone, a voice answered, saying, "The same thing is going to happen to you!"

The GFA state leader and other pastors have reported the incident to police, who have promised to take the matter seriously.

The leaders are asking for prayer that God will protect Pastor Chauhan, and that He will give wisdom to all who are handling the situation.
