If Randhir and Kritanu had been able to show the film on the life of Jesus that day, they may have been greeted with an eager crowd of curious villagers like the one gathered here. |
MANIPUR, INDIA (ANS) -- A few days ago, Gospel for Asia film missionaries Randhir Malhotra and Kritanu Sarin were badly beaten, kicked and robbed before they could show a film on the life of Jesus in a village in Manipur, India.
Despite some opposition, just the night before the two missionaries had been able to successfully show the film on Jesus’ life to a crowd of about 100 people in a neighboring village. But they would encounter more fierce opposition in this village.
The trouble started when Randhir and Kritanu were in the village around mid-afternoon on January 20, figuring out a location to show the film. Two individuals claiming to have authority in the village confronted the missionaries and began interrogating them.
Randhir and Kritanu explained that they were there to show a Gospel film, but the individuals refused to believe them, asking them which militant group they belonged to. Then the two interrogators took the missionaries to another location where three others were waiting.
The small mob blindfolded the missionaries and led them to still another location. Pointing a gun to each of their heads, they proceeded to beat them mercilessly with huge sticks, inflicting black and blue marks on their bodies. They pushed Randhir and Kritanu to the ground, kicked them roughly and confiscated their money and belongings.
The attackers did return the missionaries’ cell phones, but only after threatening them not to show up in the village again. A kind individual took compassion on the young men and gave them money for bus fare to get home, and GFA leaders immediately got them to a hospital for medical treatment. Based on the extent of the missionaries’ injuries, their physicians asked them to return for further examination and ultrasound scans.
GFA leaders ask for prayer for physical healing and comfort for these two laborers as they seek to share the love of Christ in Manipur.
· A scenic state known for its orchids, Manipur is situated in Northeast India.
| Gospel for Asia is a mission organization involved in evangelism and church planting in Asia's unreached regions. Currently Gospel for Asia supports more than 16,000 church planters in 10 countries. |

If Randhir and Kritanu had been able to show the film on the life of Jesus that day, they may have been greeted with an eager crowd of curious villagers like the one gathered here. |
MANIPUR, INDIA (ANS) -- A few days ago, Gospel for Asia film missionaries Randhir Malhotra and Kritanu Sarin were badly beaten, kicked and robbed before they could show a film on the life of Jesus in a village in Manipur, India.
Despite some opposition, just the night before the two missionaries had been able to successfully show the film on Jesus’ life to a crowd of about 100 people in a neighboring village. But they would encounter more fierce opposition in this village.
The trouble started when Randhir and Kritanu were in the village around mid-afternoon on January 20, figuring out a location to show the film. Two individuals claiming to have authority in the village confronted the missionaries and began interrogating them.
Randhir and Kritanu explained that they were there to show a Gospel film, but the individuals refused to believe them, asking them which militant group they belonged to. Then the two interrogators took the missionaries to another location where three others were waiting.
The small mob blindfolded the missionaries and led them to still another location. Pointing a gun to each of their heads, they proceeded to beat them mercilessly with huge sticks, inflicting black and blue marks on their bodies. They pushed Randhir and Kritanu to the ground, kicked them roughly and confiscated their money and belongings.
The attackers did return the missionaries’ cell phones, but only after threatening them not to show up in the village again. A kind individual took compassion on the young men and gave them money for bus fare to get home, and GFA leaders immediately got them to a hospital for medical treatment. Based on the extent of the missionaries’ injuries, their physicians asked them to return for further examination and ultrasound scans.
GFA leaders ask for prayer for physical healing and comfort for these two laborers as they seek to share the love of Christ in Manipur.
· A scenic state known for its orchids, Manipur is situated in Northeast India.
| Gospel for Asia is a mission organization involved in evangelism and church planting in Asia's unreached regions. Currently Gospel for Asia supports more than 16,000 church planters in 10 countries. |

If Randhir and Kritanu had been able to show the film on the life of Jesus that day, they may have been greeted with an eager crowd of curious villagers like the one gathered here. |
MANIPUR, INDIA (ANS) -- A few days ago, Gospel for Asia film missionaries Randhir Malhotra and Kritanu Sarin were badly beaten, kicked and robbed before they could show a film on the life of Jesus in a village in Manipur, India.
Despite some opposition, just the night before the two missionaries had been able to successfully show the film on Jesus’ life to a crowd of about 100 people in a neighboring village. But they would encounter more fierce opposition in this village.
The trouble started when Randhir and Kritanu were in the village around mid-afternoon on January 20, figuring out a location to show the film. Two individuals claiming to have authority in the village confronted the missionaries and began interrogating them.
Randhir and Kritanu explained that they were there to show a Gospel film, but the individuals refused to believe them, asking them which militant group they belonged to. Then the two interrogators took the missionaries to another location where three others were waiting.
The small mob blindfolded the missionaries and led them to still another location. Pointing a gun to each of their heads, they proceeded to beat them mercilessly with huge sticks, inflicting black and blue marks on their bodies. They pushed Randhir and Kritanu to the ground, kicked them roughly and confiscated their money and belongings.
The attackers did return the missionaries’ cell phones, but only after threatening them not to show up in the village again. A kind individual took compassion on the young men and gave them money for bus fare to get home, and GFA leaders immediately got them to a hospital for medical treatment. Based on the extent of the missionaries’ injuries, their physicians asked them to return for further examination and ultrasound scans.
GFA leaders ask for prayer for physical healing and comfort for these two laborers as they seek to share the love of Christ in Manipur.
· A scenic state known for its orchids, Manipur is situated in Northeast India.
