ContextPastor Chandra, a Christian leader in India, is dedicated to strengthening the faith of his community amidst growing persecution by Hindu nationalists. These groups aim to establish a Hindu-only India and view Christians as a threat to social and religious order, especially for preaching equality among castes.
The TrialIn a violent incident, a group of young Christians was gathered by Hindu nationalists and repeatedly beaten until unconscious. The attackers threatened to kill them if they did not renounce Christ and return to Hinduism, demonstrating the brutality of the persecution.
Faith and OutcomeDespite the violence, Indian Christians remain steadfast in their faith, and the number of followers continues to grow. Pastor Chandra testifies that the gospel brings healing and equality, and many find in Christ a message of hope that transcends India's cultural and social divisions.
