A pastor and his family have endured persecution for their faith. After placing his trust in Christ, the pastor began witnessing in nearby villages and was attacked seven times. One such attack by Hindu radicals led to a six-month jail sentence.
The pastor was also beaten by police and jailed for two days after they found New Testaments at his home. The family's challenges have continued due to new anti-conversion laws. The pastor had to divide his church into smaller house churches.
Despite these difficulties, the pastor, his wife, and their three children remain committed to sharing their faith. Further details about the family's experiences are available from the Voice of the Martyrs. The pastor's perseverance in the face of persecution is a testament to his devotion to his faith.
