ICC Note:

Recently, Open Doors USA has reported another attack on Christians in India. According to Open Doors, a pastor and his family were attacked by a mob of Hindu radicals after he was accused of evangelizing a young boy from the village. The radicals beat both the pastor and his wife and also threw the couple’s baby against a pile of stones. Attacks on Christians and their places of worship continue soar in India. According to Open Doors, Christians have been attacked over 300 times in 2017 already. 

06/13/2017 India (Christian Post) – Atrocities being committed against Christians by Hindu fanatics in India appear to be on the rise based on the spate of recent reports of such incidents.

In one such recent incidents as reported by Open Doors USA, a mob of Hindu radicals attacked the home of a certain Pastor Rohan and his wife Neha in an undisclosed location in India.

The angry mob wielding sticks accused the pastor of evangelizing a young Hindu boy in the village and demanded that he and his family leave the village.

“They began to beat my wife and I until we bled… and then picked up our baby and threw him against a heap of stones,” Rohan told the Christian ministry.

“The trauma was so much, that my wife lost the baby she was carrying in her womb,” the pastor added.

He said they were forced to immediately leave their home.

“I was crying unto the Lord…it was very painful for me,” Rohan shared. “At that time I saw a light and God talked to me and asked me to think about the pain He felt when He suffered on the cross for me.”

Last month, the Christian Post reported the burning down of a church and the home of its pastor by Hindu fanatics in southern India after some high “caste” Hindus converted to Christianity and joined the church.
