Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Mission India hasn’t been able to reach their partners yet because of damage to communication lines. Todd with Mission India asks you to pray that they’ll hear from their partners soon.
Also pray that the Lord will give Mission India guidance as they support partners throughout the country.
“Our greatest challenge will continue to be keeping up with the Indian Church. People are coming to faith in Christ at a rate in India that I just don’t think has been experienced by many people here,” Todd notes.
Todd has traveled with Mission India to meet with different leaders and visit partner locations. On these trips, he became increasingly aware of the spiritual battle being waged in India.
In India, violence against Christian believers is on the rise. Pray for their safety!

“This is, ultimately, not just a strategy that we’re about. This is a spiritual battle that we’re involved in,” states Todd. “Probably one of the most surprising things was that there’s an area in the northeast that’s probably 50-60% Christian, and there was some persecution there.
“A church was burned, and that sent the message to us that, even in very strong Christian centers, there is [spiritual] work countering the work that we’re doing.”
