After being framed on false charges of converting Hindus, two Christians in eastern India spent a month in jail where they saw 30 people converted to Christ!

Whilst meeting someone who had contacted Pastor Kumar who claimed they wanted to know about Jesus, the two were questioned about the monetary cost of conversion. As they explained that conversion does not work this way, a group began accusing them of ‘converting’ people and calling for their arrest.

The two Christians were charged with destroying, damaging or defiling a place of worship or sacred object with intent to insult religion (Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code), punishable by up to two years in prison and/or a fine; and with maliciously insulting religion or religious beliefs (Section 295-A), punishable by up to three years of prison and/or a fine.
