Dear All, The Indian church is facing two urgent crises As we start to plan for easing restrictions in the UK and Ireland, it's important to remember the terrible impact that the pandemic continues to have around the world - including in India. And for Indian Christians, Covid-19 is only half the story. They're still facing terrible persecution for their faith at the same time. Christians in India are asking us to stand with them at this critical time by raising prayer, support and awareness. That's why Open Doors is launching a campaign to answer the urgent call of our brothers and sisters. Thank you so much for standing with your family in crisis. VINITA WAS SAVAGELY BEATEN - THEN DENIED MEDICAL HELP Hindu extremists burst into Vinita's* home, where she was praying with her pastor and his wife. They were viciously attacked - then denied medical care at hospital, because of their faith. Thanks to Open Doors supporters like you, local partners were able to get them medical help, and are helping with Covid-19 aid as Vinita and her husband lost their livelihoods. Meet Vinita, and see how you can help other courageous Indian Christians like her CAN YOU ASK YOUR MP TO #STANDFORTRUTHINDIA? The Indian church is calling for a global response to the violence and discrimination faced by Christians in India - often fuelled by anti-Christian propaganda. By asking your MP to attend a briefing about Destructive Lies, a new Open Doors / LSE report on this topic, you are answering that urgent call from our Indian church family. Invite your MP today 1 JULY: JOIN OPEN DOORS' PRAYER WEBINAR FOR INDIA "Pray that the threats will stop, and that we will be strong in faith," say Vinita. Join us for a special time of prayer for the church in India, where you'll be able to hear more about the current situation directly from your persecuted family. Your prayers make an amazing difference for believers like Vinita. Register for July's webinar today
