Story number 2 for 13 Aug 2003

(India)–Next, published news reports show Gujarat police has again started a survey of Christian localities. Authorities asked about source of funds, origin, activities and what they were buying. Believers are dismayed by the survey’s continuation, because the reports are usually a prelude to focused violence against them. As a result, the survey creates tensions for those in evangelistic work. Please pray for the workers’ safety and for the wisdom of church leaders in the days ahead.
