Nearly two years after the establishment of anti conversion laws, Indian Christians are celebrating the effects of their repeal. Only time will tell the long term blessings of this legal change, but several resulting miracles have already taken place. In the first month alone, a group of 50 Indian church planters report having baptized over 1,200 new Christians!
Christians throughout India were stunned when the pro-Hindu government was overturned in the Spring 2004 national election, and several state governments annulled local anti conversion laws.

Said one local Bible League trained Christian, I praise God for enabling us to spread the Gospel in our country. He heard our fears and prayers regarding the election. God gave us an extra bonus when He made our state government remove the anti conversion law which was in force until now. Hallelujah!
Undeterred by fear
Indian Christians have faced many hardships in sharing the Gospel. Bible League trained Christians in India report that they or fellow believers have faced threats, physical attacks, and jail time for sharing their faith.

Baptisms, in particular, became a significant challenge for local churches. Under the anti conversion laws, anyone who chose to become baptized was legally obligated to seek permission from the government, as well as provide them with the name of the person performing the baptism. Fearing repercussions, many new Christians did not make this outward profession of faith until after the laws were repealed.

Still, thousands of Indians were undeterred in their faith. A local Bible League trained Christian, while under the anti conversion law, wrote, We continue to encourage Christians through the Word of God. We remind them of the promises Matthew 28.20 and the testimonies of the great martyrs . We are encouraged to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ, regardless of what happens to us. We are prepared for imprisonment, punishment, and even death for the sake of Christ.
Relying on Gods faithfulness
Continue to pray for the Church in India. The repeal of state anti conversion laws has been a tremendous miracle, but challenges still remain. One state continues to uphold anti conversion laws, and persecution persists throughout the country.
Yet God has been faithful to His children in India, and they are recognizing Him as their Savior by the thousands. Praise God for increasing opportunities to share His Word with the lost.
The Great Commission
Matthew 28. 19 & 20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
