Persecution, Faith, and Ministry in India
In India, Christians face persecution, social ostracism, harassment, and even physical violence simply for owning a Bible. Despite these challenges, believers in India remain committed to their faith and continue to spread the gospel. Crossway provides Bibles and biblical resources to believers in need around the world, including India.
Amir, a Christian leader in India, shares his story of coming to faith and the challenges he faces in his ministry. Amir’s mother, a Christian, prayed for him to come to know Christ, and eventually, he did while studying to become a medical doctor. He went on to join a Christian ministry and later started his own organization, which cares for children, trains young people in skills, and plants churches.
Many of the children in Amir’s care have been rescued from sex trafficking and temple prostitution. Poverty is often a underlying issue that leads to these situations, and Amir’s organization works to empower young girls and women through education and skills training. They also provide shelter and support for new converts to Christianity who have been ostracized by their communities.
Amir’s organization has established over 200 churches, and they continue to train young people in church planting and evangelism. The Bible plays a crucial role in their ministry, and they distribute thousands of Bibles every year. Despite the risks, Amir remains committed to spreading the gospel and caring for those in need.
Praying for Indian Christians
Amir asks that Christians around the world pray for the protection of Indian Christians, both physically and in terms of freedom to preach the gospel. He also requests prayer for boldness and courage in the face of persecution. As the situation in India continues to worsen, Amir and his team rely on the prayers and support of believers worldwide.
