Threatened Pastor Continues Ministry

[171] prayers in [11] nations have been posted for Pastor Yadav.

After a Christmas worship service in December 2023, Pastor Raj Kumar Yadav received a phone call from an unknown person. At first, the caller asked seemingly innocent questions about the celebratory service, and the pastor answered in general terms. Then the person asked how many people were fed cow meat during the meal. The question raised concerns in the pastor’s mind, since Hindus consider cows sacred and have sometimes made trouble by claiming that Christians have slaughtered and eaten cows. The caller then identified himself as the leader of a Hindu extremist group and told the pastor he would kill him within a week. Pastor Raj said that he is not fearful but is taking precautions.
