Christians in India Who Refused to Deny Faith Left Devastated After Attack by Extremists
(International Christian Concern) – On Sept. 22, members of the Sarya Adivasi Samaj (SAM) group summoned 15 Christian families to a meeting in Kakadabeda village, located in the Kondagoan district of India’s Chhattisgarh state. At this meeting, the Christians were told they had to recant their faith or be forced to leave their homes.
When the Christians refused, the religious fanatics attacked.
