There are unconfirmed reports of a planned attack on Christians in the Orissa Province. Please pray. Let’s hope it’s just a rumor.

Dr. Clark,
I am from India but I haven’t heard any such reports. But it is a place which is very volatile. So, prayer for Christians in Orissa is always relevant.
2 years back Christians were massacred and many pastors were burned up — all before the eyes of the police(The Indian Prime Minister was embarrased when questions about this incident were raised in the India-EU summit, last year). It is also the place where an Australian missionary, Graham Staines, along with his 2 sons were burned alive in a car.
I had visited the place about an year back and the Christians were still joyful. Its among the least developed states in India.
Venkatesh,
Thanks for this. The report we got at the sem was sketchy — please keep us posted.
