Terror Attack in India

Prayers here, too. This may be India's 09/11. It is a terrible thing - the death toll and injured numbers keep rising and it isn't over yet. :tear: What cowards these terrorists are.

 

raying: They're targeting us western 'infidels' in particular.

 

It is not the first in India and it will not be the last.

They did target English and Americans, but the also killed a Canadian first...a 21 year old Canadian Citizen at the hotel.

Cheers,

Jim

Well he apparently wasn't as dedicated to this jihad as most of them, and so is still capable of receiving salvation...

My church ( www.lighthouseministries.org ) has a rather significant, mult-faceted missionary presence in Mumbai.

Our presence d/b/a the Church of Jesus Christ in India that is headed up by one of our staff missionaries who is a native-born Indian from Mumbai (which used to be called Bombay).

He and his family have fathfully ministered to the people in the slums of Mumbai. Additionally, the Lord has led him to exapnd his ministry in order to care for the spiritual condition of the people in the remote villages of India. He has invested much of his time in personally discipling and training pastors to lead the people in the 60+ churches that they have established.

They have also operated an orphanage and day care center in that area. The plight of these unwanted and abandoned childen would break your heart. The orphange and day care facilities they run is the most highly accredited one in thhe entire state. He has also started a Bible college in south India.

One would think that because of all the good that he and his staff of workers (most of which are indigenous Indians), he would be highly praised by the rest of the people around him. That is far from the truth. Because all of his work is done in the name of and for the glory of Jesus Christ, they've suffered bitter persecution and numerous death threats. Yet he and the many works our Lord has enabled him to build continue on in Jesus's name.

Several of the members of some the churches he was instrumental in establishing have members who were close relatives of many of the native Indians who lost their lives in this latest outbreak of terrorism.

If these terrorists (who've been linked to several groups that owe allegiance to Osama Bin Laden) ever gain a foothold in the heavy-populated region in which Mumbai is located, will not stop until they get their hands on not only the very unstable regional government that currently exists in part of India, but also the nuclear weapons that India has (and is thought to have in storage in some parts of the greater Mumbai area).
