Release International Prayer Shields, Ukraine and India

Ukraine

Please pray for the safe return of Alexander Glushko, pastor of an evangelical church in Mariupol, Ukraine, arrested by Russian forces in March. Another pastor nearby, also blacklisted, managed to avoid arrest.

Ukraine

Evangelical pastors in Ukraine are believed to be on a Russian ‘blacklist’ because of their support of the Ukrainian Government. Ask God to protect and guide them.

Ukraine

Pray for all Christians in Ukraine; that the Lord will sustain them in their faith so they can be a powerful witness in the current conflict.

India

Pray for Pastor Kelom Kalyan Tet in India who was beaten by a mob in Delhi and accused of illegal conversion activities. They tied him to the central reservation at a busy road intersection and forced him to chant Hindu devotionals.

India

Pray for Pastor Kailash Dudwe in Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh, India. He was beaten unconscious by Hindu extremists in January, and still faces death threats and baseless charges of forcible conversion.

India

A pastor in Uttar Pradesh, India and his uncle were arrested in April on suspicion of ‘forced conversion’ – then brutally beaten over a 24-hour period in police custody, before being released. Pray that God will heal and encourage them.

India

Pray for the family of Pastor Yalam Shankar who was brutally killed by masked men in Vijayapura district, Chhattisgarh state, India, in front of his wife and daughter-in-law.
