10/10/2021 India (International Christian Concern) – Pastor Ravi has been serving God in his village in India’s Rajasthan state for many years. While Pastor Ravi has faced many challenges to his ministry, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed him and his family to the brink.

Pastor Ravi lives with his extended family and his parents work as brick makers. Due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, no one could find any work because they were unable to leave their home.

This included Pastor Ravi’s ministry.

Unable to hold any worship services or go out for any other ministry activities, Pastor Ravi’s ministry was essentially put on hold by the COVID-19 pandemic. The family quickly ran out of the little money they had and were struggling to eat food daily. According to Pastor Ravi, their faith was tested during these difficult times.

Pastor Ravi and his family continued to put their faith in God, despite the difficulty of their situation. That’s when International Christian Concern (ICC) connected with Pastor Ravi and provided him and his family with the food assistance they needed to survive the pandemic.

With support from ICC, Pastor Ravi received enough food to get him and his family through the most difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic in India.

“Thank you so much for your support,” Pastor Ravi told ICC. “God bless ICC and thank you!”

Across India, ICC has been supporting pastor and other Christian leaders effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aid provided to these Christian families by ICC has been a lifeline for many struggling due to the lockdowns and the economic effect of the pandemic.
