Missionary Martyred in India

That reminds me of a story I read about a missionary in India last month who was constructing a new church when he was killed by an extremist anti-Christian group. He had gone to a nearby town to purchase materials for the final phase of construction but never returned. Gospel for Asia said he was ambushed together with three other people and that all four were shot dead by the extremist group. His murder came just days before the church building for his growing congregation was to be completed. “Pastor Ajit was one of hundreds of missionaries risking their lives to share Jesus’ love in this area,” said GFA President K. P. Yohannan.
