*BY PERSECUTION RELIEF*

*SUNDAY, 07 DECEMBER, 2025*

✳️ *PRAISE REPORT*

*”Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.” Psalm 95:2-3*

Hallelujah! By the grace of God, *Pastor Sukhnandan Lahare and Raghunandan Lahare from Bilaspur district of Chattisgarh state*, were granted bail by the Honorable Bilaspur Court on 05/12/2025, they were accused under false charges of conversion.

✳️ *TESTIMONY OF A PERSECUTED SAINT*

*Sister Kiran from Shahjahanpur District of Uttar Pradesh was sent to jail on conversion charges. During her stay, she shared the love of Christ with the inmates. After 82 days , though released, she was burdened to visit them and wanted to give them shawls and socks in this winter season*.

With the help of *Persecution Relief family*, she was able to distribute shawls and socks and shared the love of Christ in a tangible way.

This happened while she visited her husband who is still in the jail.

Church, let us pray that those who have been in jail for the sake of Jesus will continue to carry the burden to reach those lost who are in jail.

If you are burdened to do any kind of jail ministry, please contact *Persecution Relief WhatsApp number +919993200020*, we will be happy to support you.

✳️ *PERSECUTION CASE UPDATES*

1. Chhattisgarh Christian Forum has filed a petition before the Honorable High Court on House Churches, the hearing is on 08/12/2025.
Right now Christians are going through a very oppositional environment, Church please pray with all your heart for favorable decisions and God’s protection on His Church.

2. *Bill seeking removal of ‘Secular’ and ‘Socialist’  from preamble*

✳️ *TRANSFORMED PERSECUTORS*

*1 Timothy 1:13 “Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief”.*

Even in today’s scenario, we see people ravaging churches, raising accusations against Pastors, assaulting believers; violent people around the Church are instigated by wrong presumptions, who holds cruel attitudes towards the saints of Christ.
Church, do not ignore them as outcasts and radicals who cannot be transformed.

If God could transform Saul to Paul, He is still able to heal the most hardened hearts in God’s mercy.

– Pray for them to come to the knowledge of the Truth
– Look at them with the eyes of how God looks at them.
– ⁠Pray that the chosen ones from the radicals will come forward to carry the baton of gospel ahead.

✳️ *UPCOMING COURT HEARINGS*

*Psalm 59:1 “Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.”*

1. *Pastor Santosh Jaiswal and his wife Priti from Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh state* have their case hearing on 08/12/25 and during this time the 6 opposite witnesses will be summoned. Pastor Santosh has multiple cases against him. He and his wife Priti are charged under section 323, 504, 506 and SC/ST Act.
