Weeks after a pastor led five families to faith in Christ in southern India, masked men on motorbikes intercepted him on his way home from worship on 5 October and tried to kill him.
Pastor Banothu Sevya, 26, was in a coma for 48 hours after the drunken Hindu extremists beat him in Govindapuram, on the outskirts of Jamandlapalli village in Telangana State. They had threatened him twice before, he said.
Pastor Sevya said: ‘I didn’t pay attention, knowing that when the Lord’s work is taken up, there will be hurdles, and I never complained to the police officials’.
