According to the Global Council of Indian Christians, two pastors were severely beaten on June 2nd at Jamaguda in the Gajapati district of Orissa by radical militants. Pastor Kanstantino Pariccha and another Christian worker were preparing to hold a prayer meeting in the village when the attackers beat them up with bamboo sticks and accused them of attempting "to convert people." Pastor Paricha suffered more than a dozen lacerations and suffered internal injuries. The two were admitted in Chelligada Government Hospital with serious internal injuries.

 PRAY that Indian authorities will soon find the people who are responsible for these cruel attacks and bring them to justice.

 PRAY for God’s amazing power to heal Pastor Pariccha and his co-worker.

 PRAY for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed all over India and that more Indians will accept Christ as their Savior.
