Greetings! This is to inform you that the YMEF South Division team which was working in the district of Chitradurga in Karnataka state had to face the wrath of the religious fanatics. In the past, our team had suffered the torture of such groups on different occasions. However on 31st of last month, they were stopped en-route to inner pockets of the district and their literature including Bibles, clothes were burnt. The journalists were invited and the news is flashed in all most all daily newspapers. The team had taken a house on rent basis. The owner of the house, after reading the incident is contemplating of throwing our brothers to the streets. The brothers are thinking of moving to other part of state, either to Chamraj nagar or Gulbarga. The situation is still grim. We covet your valuable prayers.

On Sunday, 20 JAN 08, Br. Babu Raj and a Team of 20 Brethren were doing a Village Gospel Ministry in Pollachi, Tamil Nadu by showing JESUS Film and sharing the Gospel, when a group of Anti-Gospel elements manhandled these brethren. Our Gracious Heavenly was so kind that these brethren did not suffer much physically as HE arranged the timely arrival of the Police, who took these brethren to the Police Station. In the Police Force there were Policemen favoring these brethren and opposing them. The Policemen opposing them managed to issue Non-bailable Arrest Warrant against 13 of these brethren. Let us uphold these brethren to the Throne of Grace for Heavenly intervention that these Police case and the problem associated with it is solved.(AVM)
