Not Even a Loaded Gun Could Stop Him from Preaching the Gospel
CBN News Staff : Oct 6, 2016 : Charisma News
[Charisma News] Zacharia lived comfortably as a government employee in Southern India.
He was born into a Catholic family that ranked high in India’s notorious caste system.
But one day his comfortable life took a turn, some might say for the worse, when God told him to be a missionary in one of the most dangerous places to be a Christian in India.
God told Zacharia to minister to the people in Bihar, a place known for being violent against anything Christian. Bihar is so antagonistic toward Christianity, it is nicknamed “the graveyard of missionaries.”
“That was really, really hard for me,” Zacharia told Christian Aid. “I prayed for a few weeks, ‘Lord, send someone to Bihar. But the Lord said, ‘Not someone else—you must go.'”

Theresa May allowed Muslim bomber wanted for jihad terrorism and death of schoolgirl to remain in UK
August 9, 2016 – Robert Spencer
Theresa May banned me from Britain for saying that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with Western society” — an accurate statement that I suspect Tiger Hanif, if he were honest, would affirm as true.
But to say such things is unacceptable in Theresa May’s Britain; acting upon them, however, as did Tiger Hanif, is not only acceptable, but deserving of her special protection.

Contemporary Christian band from India packs two Toronto concerts
TORONTO, Ontario, July 4, 2016 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Catholic contemporary Christian band from India has sold out two venues in the Toronto this coming weekend with a hard-hitting message aimed at youth.
Rexband is the musical outreach of the Jesus Youth Movement, which sprang up in Kerala, India’s southernmost state when many charismatic youth groups merged in 1985 to mark the International Year of Youth. Now, Jesus Youth International Director of Youth Formation Manoj Sunny told LifeSite News, it has a presence in 30 countries, always with a strong pro-life theme.
Rexband, which started in 1991,adopted the same pro-life thrust in 1995, said Manoj, after “Pope John Paul II gave out the call to build a ‘culture of life’ in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae.” Since then, said Manoj, “a pro-life message has been at the centre of all of our concerts, wherever we go, irrespective of the country or culture in which we are called to perform.”

June 12, 2016 – CBN News
Hindu extremists assaulted and tortured 29 Indian Christians for refusing to give up their faith and convert to Hinduism.

Hugh Fitzgerald: Was Forced Conversion to Islam Really “Historically Rare” in India?
March 7, 2016 – By Hugh Fitzgerald
Here is an exchange between Todd Caldecott and Max Rodenbeck in the Letters Column of The New York Review of Books, on the latter’s claim (in a previously-published review of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Heretic: Why Islam Needs A Reformation) that the Muslim practice of forced conversion was “historically rare” and “revived only recently by ultra-extremist groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria or ISIS in Iraq.”
Caldecott provides, by way of answer, an impressively horrifying list of just some of the recorded instances of mass murder of Hindus in India and the mass destruction of Hindu temples and libraries:
564 Rescued from Slavery at a Massive Brick Kiln
IJM Staff : Mar 9, 2016 : God Reports
When officials explained that rescue had arrived, many couldn’t believe it was real. One government officer asked the crowd “Who wants to go free?” but he was met with a stunned silence. Slowly, one man raised his hand, then another. Soon dozens of tired hands shot into the air, ready to finally exit into safety
(India)—In an ongoing rescue operation, Indian police and IJM (International Justice Mission) staff have rescued 564 children, women and men from forced labor slavery at a massive brick kiln.
This is IJM’s largest anti-slavery operation ever—and it took place in the exact same, sprawling factory where we helped rescue more than 500 people in 2011.

Your Prayers Have Been Answered: It Is Reported That Father Thomas Uzhunnalil Was Not Crucified by ISIS But is Alive and ‘Safe’
April 04, 2016 – Christian Post, Stoyan Zaimov
Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has said Catholic priest Tom Uzhunnalil, who was previously feared to have been crucified by the Islamic State on Good Friday, is alive, safe, and efforts are being organized for his release.
Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India spokesman Father Gyanprakash Topno told the Press Trust of India that Swaraj met with CBCI delegates and told them that reports claiming Uzhunnalil has been killed are not true.
“Father Tom is safe and efforts are on for his release as early as possible,” Topno said, conveying the minister’s words, adding that the “government will facilitate the priest’s safe return to India.”
You Won’t Believe Which 2 Asian Countries Are Standing With Israel
4/1/2016 Reuters Staff
Israel is looking east to China and India to help drive tourism, as visits to the country have yet to fully recover from the 2014 Gaza war, Tourism Ministry Director-General Amir Halevi said.
In 2015, tourism grew 43 percent from China to some 50,000 visitors and the ministry sees that doubling by 2018. It will be helped by the start of nonstop flights next month by Hainan Airlines from Beijing to Tel Aviv that will add 35,000 extra seats to Israel a year.
“This will change the game,” Halevi told Reuters. “The price of tickets will go down 50 percent.”
Tourism in 2015 fell 3 percent to 3.1 million, following a war with Palestinian militants in Gaza in 2014. A weak Russian economy also weighed.
In the six-week Gaza conflict, Israeli air strikes killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, while Palestinian militants killed six Israeli civilians and 67 soldiers.
Indian doctor fights gendercide by delivering baby girls for free
PUNE, India, February 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)
As a child, Dr. Ganesh Rakh wanted to be a wrestler. Now he wrestles with one of India’s most destructive prejudices. The hospital he started in 2007 to serve the poor in the city of Pune, 60 miles southeast of Mumbai, delivers girl babies for free as part of his effort to reverse India’s murderous – and growing – preference for male children.
“As a medical professional I have seen the torture that a mother undergoes when she comes to know that she has delivered a girl,” Dr. Bakh told reporters, “because regressive social norms are not only anti-women but are even anti-girl child.”
Often wrongly termed infanticide, the Indian preference for males has led to an estimated 12,700,000 sex-selective abortions of girls from 2000 to 2014, according to the pro-life Population Research Institute. The Virginia-based PRI’s executive director, Stephen Mosher, says Indian gendercide is especially acute among the country’s middle class, which allow 800 girls to be born to every 1,000 males (the overall ratio is 927:1,000).
Gospel for Asia Awaits Papers as ‘Tens of Thousands’ Could Join Class Action Lawsuit
By Leonardo Blair , Christian Post Reporter – February 12, 2016
With more than a million unique donations being made to Gospel for Asia annually, Monday’s bombshell class action lawsuit against one of the largest missions agencies based in the U.S. could potentially involve no less than “tens of thousands” of plaintiffs and the agency says it’s still waiting to be served.
“While we are more than willing to answer any questions asked of us, it would be irresponsible for us to do so at this time since we have not yet been served any lawsuit.
All we know is what has been posted on the Internet by certain bloggers who have previously misrepresented facts related to Gospel for Asia in a relentless attempt to discredit our ministry,” wrote Daniel Punnose in an email statement to The Christian Post Thursday.
He is listed as a vice president and member of Gospel for Asia’s board of directors as well as the son of the organization’s leader, K.P. Yohannan, in the lawsuit.
