N.J. and Ellen VarugheseAll India MissionAll India’s website has not been updated in some time. The Indian government is looking for information to revoke their FCRA. All India is not posting because they are being scrutinized daily. He wrote, “Some of our churches are really exploding in India. Many new Christians are rejected by their own family members, put in jail, have lost inheritances, but are still strong in their faith. Please continue to pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ and the persecuted church around the world. The Shanti Bhavan hospital hopes to be financially self-sufficient by the end of next March. Please pray for their efforts as they establish a relationship with the people and find staff that is capable and dedicated.
