Here in America, worries over the COVID-19 virus disrupt our Christmas plans.
In other parts of the worlds, violence disrupts Christian gatherings.
The Morningstar News reported a brutal attack on Christians in Central India:
“Armed with bamboo sticks, iron rods, bows and arrows and iron sickles, the large mob at 1 a.m. on Nov. 25 attacked a home and adjoining church hall in Chingrwaram village, Sukma District . . . Attacks on Christians in Chhattisgarh and have become more frequent and intense.”
Let’s remember our brothers and sisters in Christ who are threatened by more than the virus.
Lord, watch over believers in central India and other places where they may be attacked for their faith. May they safely celebrate our Savior’s birth. Shelter them in Your everlasting arms, be their strength and shield, in Jesus’ name.
