♦️ *PERSECUTION CASE UPDATES*

Few people with face covered came in 3 Jeeps and knocked the door of Pastor Lakshpath Singh who lives in a village of Shahdol district in Madhya Pradesh state.

The pastor opened the door as people come for prayers at odd hours also.
As soon Pastor opened the door few people caught hold of Pastor and they put him in a jeep and sped away.

Pastor Thanuram one of our coordinators visited their house and met the family, nobody knows what has happened and where have they taken the Pastor. Police is looking into the matter.

Church, Pray for the safety of the Pastor and family.
