Finding Purpose in Prison | ||||
| On Feb. 6, 2022, as Pastor Rajiv’s congregation in India prepared for Communion, three members of a right-wing paramilitary organization entered the service. They began making a video accusing the church of converting Hindus to Christianity. When police arrived, they took Rajiv and another Christian to the police station. The police questioned Rajiv repeatedly about his work, even though the church was officially registered with the government and had permission to meet. Eventually, based on the Hindus’ claims, Rajiv was charged under the state’s anti-conversion law and put in jail.
