Two communities served by Gospel for Asia-supported missionaries could be demolished due to confusion over who owns the land. Church buildings, hundreds of homes and medical clinics in North West India have been served with eviction notices to move out in April because ‘their homes and church buildings were built on land that really belongs to the government.’ Most of the people have lived there for 30 years. In one area the residents are poor day labourers and a few government employees. Another area is home to middle class teachers, medical professionals, engineers and businessmen. Residents contend they legally purchased the land from a tribal group selling portions of it off before the state was created. A similar situation recently occurred elsewhere resulting in the demolition of several homes and a church.

Pray: for God’s intervention and protection for the believers, their homes, places of worship and work. (Pr.2:6-8)
