XXXXXX was in the U.S. last fall when the presecution began. His wife and family ran into the jungle as the extremists came to their village. They watched their home burned. For a time XXXXXX was unable to contact them and did not know what had happened.
XXXXXX is a leader of many churches, and because of his position, for a time his name was on a hit list during the trouble.
His ministry is named: xxxxxxx and is located in the XXXXXX District of Orissa, where we will conduct the first two conferences. XXXXXXXX is an approved partner ministry of ANM...one of six in Orissa, most of which were affected by the persecution.
The current weather in India is ranging from 90 -110 in Calcutta and Delhi respectively..
