Protest Rally in Bhopal,Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh’s “All Christian Prayer Gathering” organized on Sunday (April 25) a fasting and prayer meeting at Neelam park in remembrance of Amit Gilbert who was martyred for Christ on 19 April and also in protest of the escalated violence against the Christians in the state.

About 600 Christians from all the churches in the state attended the meeting. A memorandum was submitted to the state’s Governor and Director General of Police by area Christian leaders and they also meet the Chief Minister in his office. However, the Christian community did not receive any assurance of protection from the Chief Minister.

The meeting, opened with prayers was followed by a time of praise and worship. Pastors from different areas shared the word of God and encouragements.

Pastor Shantwan Lal reported that the post mortem result of Amit Gilbert showed that he was not drowned as the doctors found no water in his stomach but that there was a big wound on his head and back. Some report also said that Amit’s hands were tied with a rope when they found his body.

The meeting which starts at 4 p.m. was concluded with a prayer at 7 p.m.



 

Verse of the Day

Psalm 18:1-2
“[The LORD Praised for Giving Deliverance.] For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said, “I love You, O LORD, my strength.” The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
