A dozen church leaders remained behind bars Tuesday, April 13, over a week after security forces detained them in India's southern state of Karnataka on charges of ‘forceful conversion’ of Hindus, a major evangelical group said. The Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI), which represents evangelical Christians and churches, said, the 12 pastors were detained in the district of Kodagu April 6 after Hindu extremists filed a police complaint against the Christians about forceful conversion. The Hindu militants and several police officers reportedly barged into the home of a Christian where the pastors were having a prayer meeting. The extremists accused the pastors of forceful conversion and took them to the police station for questioning. (See Prayer Alert 1410)

Pray: for the church and its leaders in India that God would equip them for the battle. (Heb.13:20-21)
