This week's persecuted church: India
Hindutva extremists dragged a pastor to the police station where they lodged a false compliant against the pastor alleging that he urinated on the idols of a nearby temple. It is suspected that these men are activists who earlier had warned the pastors against having any prayer meetings in the area. They even threatened the pastors saying if they conducted any worship services there would be a repeat of an incident where pastors were beaten, women were abused (including pregnant women), and Christian literature was destroyed. phones, among other items.
On October 25, 1955, Park Chong Boon entered the world. She came to know the Lord in her elementary school years at her mission school. Despite the persecution she faced from her Buddhist family, she still snuck out of the house to attend church services and activities. In 1978, she met her non-Christian husband, Chung Im Chul, through an army friend of his. Upon hearing her sing the hymn, "How Great Thou Art," the unbelieving man began to go to church to listen to the choir. In 1980, the couple was married. In 1982, they immigrated to the United States. In 1984, their first son was born. In 1989, their second son was born. Both sons know the Lord. The husband knows the Lord as well. Amazing what one birth can bring about. Happy Birthday, 마!
