Persecution Relief Urgent ‼️ Prayer Request
On June 11, 2025, a joyful wedding celebration turned into a night of terror for Pastor Edwin Joseph’s family in Dharsiva village, Raipur district, Chhattisgarh state. The event was being held for Rupender, Pastor Edwin’s brother-in-law, with family and relatives gathered to mark the auspicious occasion.
Tragically, the celebration was disrupted when a group of villagers stormed the venue. They poured petrol on the tyre of Mahindra SUV and tried to set it ablaze, causing panic among the guests. Several other vehicles were also vandalized in the violent attack.
Fearing for their lives, the family members locked themselves inside the house as the mob attempted to break down the door. The sudden and aggressive actions left the entire family traumatised and in shock.
Pastor Edwin reached out to Persecution Relief early the next morning to report the incident and seek urgent prayers and support.
We request the Church and believers everywhere to lift up this family in prayer. May the peace of God surround them and justice prevail in the wake of this distressing incident.
