Prayers are urgently requested for Pastor Kumar, a native missionary in the south Indian state of Karnataka, who is right now facing a life-and-death situation.
“After his graduation from a Bible college, he and his wife Sonia moved to an unreached village and began their ministry together, sharing the love of Jesus with those who had never heard His name. Over the past two years the Lord has given them growth: Not only has their baby boy become a happy little toddler, but today more than 40 new believers gather to worship the living God in the church he has established,”
But Pastor Kumar has received threats from anti-Christian fundamentalist groups over the past several weeks. Yesterday those threats escalated into a full-scale demonstration, said Yohhanan. “One of our senior leaders notified me just a few hours ago that a mob went to each house in Kumar's village, threatening anyone who went to church this Sunday-they would break their arms and legs, and kill them.
Finally they came to Pastor Kumar's home and beat him. Before leaving, they delivered their ultimatum: If he conducted Sunday services this weekend, they would kill him in front of his wife and son.” The police have said that they couldn't help; this mob was too large and the pastor should do whatever he wanted to do.

Father, I stand in the gap for Pastor Kumar and his Family and Congregation. Lord, he needs Your protection so I ask that You send legions of angels to surround the people of this village to fight for the Gospel and the people who preach the Gospel of Jesus! Do not allow this mob of men who are ignorant of You and Your Love for them continue in this threat and violence! In the Name of Jesus I rebuke the spirits of fear, hate, violence and prejudice. I rebuke the principality of islam! Who do you think you are? You do not have the authority or dominion here! Back Off! I bind you by the authority given to me by Jesus through the Holy Spirit and I remand you over to Jesus for your punishment! Father, send angels to minister to those who have been hurt by the mob. Holy Spirit, go get them! bring them to Jesus! AMEN!!!!

Wow.... Dear Lord, I was just wondering if we prayed more for the persecuted areas of the world if less of this would go on. We are not keeping these brothers in a prayer covering, more than likely. I pray we will not forget the persecuted brothers and sisters. Father, I ask for protection for this man and his family and his congregation. Dispatch legions of warrying and protecting angels to surround these Indian people. Lord God, let not one hair on their heads be touched any further! I pray for this pastor's rapid healing from the beating, that he may preach Your Word! Please send help and aid by way of even more angels. Dear Lord, protect these dear brothers and sisters. I plead the blood over each and every one of them! I pray that the Holy Ghost will be a wall of fire around them, as well as a voice that speaks direction to them. May He give them wisdom and insight on what moves to make in order to avoid danger, while still preaching the Gospel and meeting together to worship.
I pray that their persecutors are saved or stopped. Lord, I ask for them to be a witness to those who persecute them, by loving and forgiving them. I pray that these Indian brothers and sisters will see their persecutors and captors come to Jesus for salvation and repentence. Use this situation to bring about waves of salvation in this anti-Christian fundamentalist group! We expect to hear of many salvations! Lord, totally stop the hateful activities of these who hate the Christians. I pray for salvation, but, if not that, then let them be stopped in whatever other ways possible.
I thank You for this and praise You for this, in Jesus Name, amen.
