Anti-Christians have once again raised allegations against Gospel for Asia-supported pastor Sammath Chavan, accusing him of forcing people to convert to Christianity.

The Lord has blessed Pastor Sammath’s ministry, and in 2008, he was able to start a fellowship. In response, anti-Christians filed a case accusing him of coercing the believers into their new faith. Police issued a warrant for his arrest. However, GFA leaders were able to intervene, and the case was settled peacefully.

On the evening of January 10, police personnel came to Pastor Sammath’s rented room on a warrant reactivated by the same anti-Christians who had accused him in 2008. Now, Sammath is under house arrest and is not able to leave the room he is living in.

Ask the Lord to once again intervene and put the case to rest permanently.

Pray for Pastor Sammath, that the Lord will protect him from discouragement and give him grace to stand firm in his faith.
