7 states in india and 36 districts are Naxal affected in 2010 stated by the CSDC. I will call this the people's war. The naxals are from the soil of india. They are from within us, from the tribal regions in the red corridor of India. In this corridor you will find over 100 unreached and 15 unengaged tribes. The ones that are caught in the cross fire between the naxals and the security forces is the common man. "We are like a sheet of paper between the blades of a pair of scissors. Whenever the blades clash, we get cut." - Adve Kandu, farmer. The church has the power to make an impact. The church planters of Engage India, preach the gospel in these regions and many have a personal experience of the power of the love of God. Those who hear of the love of Jesus in this red corridor, see Jesus as a hope for the blood and conflict ridden region. They are weary about being in the cross fire and want both of the sides to give up the gun fire. "Jesus breaks the bow and shatters the spear". Please pray for the church planter who works in these difficult situations where there is violence. We as a ministry see our responsibility to nation building and the spread of the gospel. The church has a responsibility to take the peace of Jesus Christ to the broken society we live in and specially to those in and affected by the naxal people's war. Pray and support the ministry of Engage India / BCSD.
