(BosNewsLife) – The government of India’s western state of Gujarat is supporting a Hindu-led “anti conversion program” to stop the spread of Christianity and force new Christians to return to Hinduism, a well informed influential advocacy group told BosNewsLife Wednesday, July 13. “I came to know through sources in the government that the Chief Minister of Gujarat , Mr. Narendra Modi, would release four billion Indian Rupees (about 92 million US Dollars) in the name of development in August. [It will be] for a month-long program in Dangs district in southern Gujarat ,” said Samson Christian, the National Executive Member and Joint Secretary of the All India Christian Council (AICC). Dangs district, a large area of 1764 square kilometers, has a population of 187,000, out of which only 15,000 are Christians, according to estimates. The religious atmosphere in the district has been tense since anti-Christian violence erupted there in 1998 during the Christmas week.

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria early Monday morning, killing and injuring thousands of people, and leaving a path of aftershocks and destruction.
“The earthquake has brought a heightened sense of fear among a population that has already suffered so much displacement and destruction from conflict,” said ICC Middle East Regional Manager Joseph Daniel. “And now, to experience such a devastating natural disaster, it results in a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness for many.
“Crises like this present an opportunity for persecuted Christians in Syria and Turkey to demonstrate the example of Christ’s love with their neighbors, even with their persecutors, who are all suffering through this shared catastrophe.”
