Christian brutally assaulted in Orissa Alleged Hindu extremists on June 8 brutally attacked a Christian and threatened to kill him in Nuapada, Orissa. Our correspondent Bishawzit Pani reported that about 6 Hindu extremists armed with dagger and sticks forcefully entered the house of Bhakta Bivar (19) while his parents were out for a prayer meeting. The extremists verbally abused Bivar for his faith, started beating him, took 4 Bibles and forcefully dragged him to the Hindu temple. They urged him to deny Jesus while they continued to beat him, forcing Prasad (food offered to the idols) to him and threatening to kill him and his parents if they do not convert to Hinduism. They burned the Bibles inside the temple and later pulled the boy out to the road and forcefully clad him with saffron colour cloth, falsely announcing that he has returned to Hinduism. The extremists left after they threatened to kill him and his family if they continue to believe in Christ as they are not allowing the existence of Christianity in the region. Police complaint was lodged and 5 Hindu extremists were arrested and sent to Phawani Patna jail on the next day. |

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.”
