🔰 *PERSECUTION CASE UPDATES*

*Pastor James, his wife, and two other believers* were arrested by police in *Mirzapur district, Uttar Pradesh state* during Sunday worship service on 12/10/2025.
Church, please pray.

🔰 *PRAISE REPORT 🙌🏽*

Thank God for his protection over all the Worship services across this nation. Praise God that not any severe cases of Persecution have been reported to us on Sunday.

🔰 *CHAINS ⛓️ INSPIRING THE CHURCH*

“_And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.” Philippians 1:14_

Persecution and imprisonment due to the faith in Jesus Christ often make people more fearful and lose their confidence. But here, Paul is justifying that because of his chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord, and they dare all the more to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pray that the persecution, attacks, arrests, or imprisonment – nothing would make people fearful or stay away from the calling. Instead, may the stories of the real warriors of persecution inspire and give more confidence to all God’s children – much more confidence to share the love of Jesus Christ, not fearing even to the point of losing one’s life.
