Even as we celebrate what God has done over the past 25 years at the Literacy India Trust gathering, our brothers and sisters to our north in Orissa state are experiencing intense persecution. Christians are being killed, pastors are literally being beheaded and churches being burned by Hindi extremists. All the while, the Hindi dominated political establishment is turning a blind eye.
Escaping the persecution in Orissa are twenty Christian literacy workers attending the LIT celebration. The balance of 700 fellow literacy workers attending the conference reach out in a time of prayer.
The last day of the conference, a pastor from Orissa opened with prayer, just days earlier he hid behind his church as it was consumed in flames. He escaped with his life and an amazing passion to follow Jesus at all cost.
May GOD, overwhelm our Orissa brothers and sisters with his peace and protection.
