The sutures protruding from the deep, still-fresh wound on 32-year-old Mangu’s head are the latest evidence of the persecution faced by Christians in the tribal belt of Bastar in Chhattisgarh, India. Families like Mangu’s are willing to pay a heavy price — social ostracism, physical violence, and even homelessness — for their faith in Jesus. On April 13, Mangu and six other Christians were brutally attacked in a village nearly 16 miles south of Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. The Christian men were digging a grave for a fellow believer who had died.
