*DAILY PRAYER UPDATE OF THE PERSECUTED CHURCH*

*BY PERSECUTION RELIEF*

*SUNDAY, 25 JANUARY 2026*

💒 *PERSECUTION CASE UPDATES*

1. Vikas Chauhan from *Raigarh District, Chhattisgarh State,* reported that few days back at his home, some anti-social individuals came along with the police, and *accused them of religious conversion*. A few believers were taken to the police station but were *released on the same day*.

Later, the same group abused and threatened Vikas Chauhan, his brother, and his mother and damaged his bike.

Now the anti Christians have filed a case under *Sections 296, 115(2), 351(1), and 3/5 of the Chhattisgarh Freedom of Religion Act.* Until the matter is resolved, no prayer meetings will be held.

Please pray for God’s protection, a peaceful and just resolution, and that the family may remain strong and steadfast in their faith.

2. Tension prevailed at *Sakhaibari Holy Cross Convent School in Dharmanagar in North Tripura district of Tripura state*

Anti Christians staged a demonstration demanding permission to organise a pooja on the school premises.

The tensions was high when the school administration was adamant of not allowing any pooja.

Church Pray for harmony within the school community and people living in the area.

💒 *TODAY’S PRAISE POINTS*

*Psalms 136:23 “Who remembered us in our low condition, For his mercy endures forever”.*

1. *Praise God!!* *Pastor Rajesh* from *Ashok Nagar District in Madhya Pradesh state* has been granted bail. He was arrested on 09/01/2026.
Thank you Church for praying.

💒 *A PERSECUTION IMPACTED GENERATION!*

*Proverbs 31:8 “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute”.*

We have come across many children whose parents have been jailed for their faith in Jesus.

Many of their lives have turned upside down since their parents had been Persecuted.
Many of them have been displaced from their own homes and have taken refuge under the care of their relatives.
Many have been dropped out of school.

🔖Pray for such children of incarcerated parents that their Faith should increase day by day and they would be joyful in the Lord and the Peace of God will gaurd their hearts 💕 and minds.

🔖Pray that these children will take the baton ahead for Jesus instead of running away.

🔖Pray that they may feel honored and privileged that they got the opportunity to suffer for Christ sake.
