Armed Mob Attacks Christian Gathering in India

International Christian Concern reports an armed mob attacked a Christian gathering in India earlier this month.

The Annual Santhali Mega Bible Convention Retreat attracts thousands of Christians in India’s state of West Bengal. A mob of 200 fanatics assaulted Christian attendees with bamboo sticks and bricks on October 9. The attack injured several Christians and forced the convention to end early.

The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in West Bengal in May of this year. Since then, such anti-Christian incidents have been on the rise.

Christian Legal Centre in England Helps Church Fight For Their Street Preaching Ministry

A church in England is fighting local officials to share the gospel on the streets.

The Colchester City Council put restrictions on the street ministry of Bread of Life Community Church. It amounts to an effective ban on preaching. The Christian Legal Centre is helping the church to challenge the restrictions.

Listen to comments from Andrea Williams with the Christian Legal Centre as well as the church’s pastor, Stephen Clayden.

WILLIAMS: "It's really important that we keep the streets open to the Gospel, because when we keep the streets open to the Gospel, we'll keep the pulpits open to the Gospel, and we'll reach those that need this eternal message of salvation."

CLAYDEN: “They'll come for us in the streets, but then they'll come for us in the pulpits as well. That's why we have to win this case.”

In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.”
