Front-Line Workers Breaking into Hindu Stronghold
Ashok and his wife, Nila, have spent 25 years reaching out to the small and isolated community of Himachal Pradesh, India, which is overwhelmingly Hindu. Pastor Pravin, who was among the first Christians in this area, leads a rural church there. This church faces the daily challenge of reaching villages that are ruled by chiefs associated with Hindu nationalist groups, which oppose any kind of Christian activities in the village. Through personal evangelism and Bible study, however, they are seeing hearts change. Manu, another front-line worker there, organizes a prayer network to mobilize prayer for the state of Himachal Pradesh and said that prayer is breaking bondages and opening more villages to the gospel. Pray for front-line workers in Himachal Pradesh like Ashok, Nila, Pravin and Manu to be well-equipped and encouraged in their gospel ministries.
