India is an amazing country. Have just spent all of August there and although I did not see any magicians I must have passed literally hundreds of churches as we drove around Kerala. Christians of every denomination rub shoulders along with Muslims and Hindus in one of the visibly religious countries I have ever been in.
St Thomas bought Christianity to Kerala and consequently India can boast to be home to one of the most ancient churches in the world. Awesome!
St Thomas went onto preach throughout the region eventually experiencing martyrdom in Tamil Nadu. It is still tough for Indian Christians today. I met a pastor who reported how his colleague was brutally beaten in front of his family. This happened last month. Yet the Gospel continues to be lived and shared in this most challeging of environments.
To the Indian pastors and ministers out there. God Bless you. Keep preaching and sharing the Living Word . . . Jesus Christ.
