(India)–Meanwhile, the Dalit’s rejection of Hinduism is continuing to open avenues to the Gospel. While radical Hindus continued to attack minority religions, Bibles for the World’s Rochunga Pudiate was recently in Maharashtra State hoping to hold evangelistic meetings. “With all the riots and conflict across India. India is in just terrible turmoil right now. All across the country there’s crisis and riots and like that, so I said, ‘we have to cancel this meeting. We don’t want to create more violence.” Pudaite says since November, thousands and thousands of low caste Dalits have rejected Hinduism. One-point-eight million dollars is needed for Bibles to help point them to Christ. “Right now there are 18 million telephone subscribers and I’d like to blanket all of them. And, then we can use the voter registrations and go one state after another and blanket the nation and bring a new revolution of the love of Jesus Christ in the land.”
