*🪭 PERSECUTION CASE UPDATES*

1. An update on the series of grave incidents that occurred to *Pastor Rajman Salam from Kanker District of Chhattisgarh State* who is also the Local Panchayat Head [Sarpanch] of the village, during the funeral of his deceased father.
Without the consent of the family, the body of the deceased was dug out and exhumed.

In the midst of the unrest, on *18/12/2025, the church building in the village was demolished, and the house of Pastor Rajman Salam was set on fire*, resulting in significant loss of property and further trauma.

The Christian families in the village are now living under fear, insecurity, and social pressure, with concerns for their safety, dignity, and freedom of faith.

We humbly request the Church to pray for divine intervention and peace for the Christians in the village.

*🪭 TODAY’S ⚖ COURT HEARING*

Please continue to pray for the healing of Pastor Motilal as he is facing challenges in his health and also for brother Dilip who is still in jail to be released soon.

Many saints are facing similar difficulties in the jail *only* because they chose to stand for Jesus.

Church, declare peace, healing and miraculous relief from jails.

Heavenly Father, when Your faithful servants are persecuted and forsaken by their loved ones and the society, we ask that You surround them with Your love. Let their hearts be filled with the songs of hope. Let Your peace guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. In Jesus name we ask, Amen.
