"The five students were from a Gospel for Asia (GFA) Bible College in the Indian state of Maharashtra, in the state capital of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) sharing their faith on the streets of a local village. Reportedly, as they arrived at the village, the five were approached by an anti-Christian mob that threatened to kill them.
According to GFA's sources, the Bible College students were severely beaten by the militants. All five of the assaulted Christians were taken to a local hospital and treated, and two of the men are listed in critical condition with severe head wounds.
GFA founder K.P. Yohannan says the students' classmates are standing strong, despite the current climate of anti-Christian oppression and violence. "The entire [body of GFA] Bible School students are saying the same thing," he notes, namely that they are taught "that Jesus sent us out as sheep among wolves, and this is what the Lord said would happen."
Yohannan says the suspects in the Mumbai incident could be either Muslim or Hindu extremists. He encourages Christians in America to pray for boldness, strength and grace for believers throughout India."
