Imagine being arrested, thrown in prison and now facing legal charges — simply for holding a Christian meeting in your home.That’s what happened to Pastor Mohan*, in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh State. Around 50 Christians were at his home when Hindu extremists arrived with police and local media. The Christians were threatened and Pastor Mohan was taken into police custody. Although initially released, he was later accused of forcing, threatening and luring people into his church, in breach of Uttar Pradesh’s anti-conversion laws. He was remanded in custody for a month, a time during which he was bullied by other inmates. He felt alone and in despair—until someone brought him a copy of the New Testament. He read the story of Paul and Silas in prison and realised the challenges that God’s gospel servants will sometimes face. As the court case drags on, Release International partners have been supporting Mohan and providing him with on-going legal aid. ‘We are under a lot of pressure,’ he said. ‘We are very stressed.’
Could you send a gift of £30 or more to Release International, to help us support Christians like Mohan, who suffer intimidation and oppression, simply for serving the gospel of Christ?
