Story number 3 for 11 Mar 2002

(India)–An Indian evangelist is thankful to be alive after being attacked in the state of Gujarat last week. Simon Paul is a native pastor with Gospel Revival Ministries and says he was beaten by mob of Hindus as he was preaching in the Dangs Region. He says the mob beat everyone in attendance then set fire to many of the buildings, but the church was spared. Paul says the fire burned much of the food, so he’s asking people to pray that God will provide the help they need.
