ICC’s Persecution Response Training is ‘The Need of the Hour’
Source excerpt
When a mob of angry Hindu nationalists stormed Pastor Sanjay’s church during Sunday morning worship on March 23, in Chhattisgarh, India, the pastor, thankfully, knew how to respond. The attackers assaulted more than 100 congregants, destroyed church furniture and equipment, and called for Pastor Sanjay’s arrest. Their collective anger was based on false allegations that the pastor had forcefully converted local Hindus to Christianity. Sanjay was able to calmly endure the mob’s ire and confidently defend himself and his congregation before the authorities because of International Christian Concern’s Persecution Response Training (PRT) that he had received a week earlier.
