More from the difficulties in Orissa, India

This message arrived from Pastor Barun Senapati:

Warm Christian greetings, Happy Christmas and New Year 2008 in the name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Here I would like to request for prayers as are following.

1- The RSS, BJP party and Biswa Hindu are persecuting many Christians. They have burned churches and houses of Christian people. Many people are dead and some are in hospital. Also many people suffer under police rules. They lost their every thing that is in their houses. Now they’re suffering very badly. The name of the village is Barakhamba in the District of Phulbani in Orissa India. More then 3000 thousands people were Christian.

2- They were planning to attack missionaries and missions in my place. But I thank God they could not attack God’s people. So I need your prayer for God protection here.

3- You can find this news on the Internet and BBC World News. Just you go through Internet and see the India news and news about Orissa. Please pray for them.

4- Our three co-workers were also working in that village and they need God's protection also. They are suffering badly.

5- We some other missions are planning to distribute some relief work for them and their village. Please pray for all of us.

Yours in His service,

Barun Senapati
