Yesterday GFA pastors Tulsiram and Vijay in Chhattisgarh (India) were severely beaten and kidnapped by anti-Christian elements as they prepared to baptize 32 new believers. Their captors took them to an unknown location. The kidnapping was part of a plan to stop them from continuing ministry in the village. By Gods grace Pastor Vijay escaped and ran close to 25 miles to tell the GFA district leader of the incident. The district leader informed GFAs Chhattisgarh state office and also rushed to the village where the kidnapping took place in hopes of securing the other native pastors release. We still do not know Pastor Tulsirams whereabouts. Please fervently pray for this urgent situation.
