Prayer Needed for Dalit Court Case

[GFA Urgent Update] Prayer Needed for Dalit Court Case
------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Brown,

With a deep burden from the Lord, I write this letter asking you to
please pray.

On October 25 the government of India must respond to the Supreme Court
regarding the Dalit Christians' rights under the constitution of the
land. It has been that when Dalits become Christians they lose their
"reservations" (certain number of placements specifically for Dalits)
for education, employment and many other rights that are granted
specifically to Dalits under the law.

According to the government census some 20 million Dalits have become
Christians. These precious people's rights are violated: Their women
and children are raped, they are not allowed to draw water from wells in
many communities, and so many more accounts of cruelty. Some of the
communities, like the Banjara with 61 million people, live with 90
percent illiteracy and horrible poverty!

And this is the fate of nearly 300 million men, women and children!!

Please fast and pray that the government of India will correct these
injustices on October 25 when the Supreme Court rules on this case. We
have only a few days now to intercede and pray with a broken heart for
the sake of these millions who have suffered so much for the last 3,000
years!

Thank you so much for seriously taking this to the Lord in prayer.

Yours for His name's sake,
