pray for orissa

There has been relatively little in the news about the December 26 attacks on the Christian population in Orissa. Recent reports state that 21 villages have been destroyed, 95 church buildings were either destroyed or partially destroyed by arson, 730 houses were set on fire, 12 Christians are dead, 7 girls were abducted from a Catholic hostel, and the World Vision area development office and their jeep and motorbikes were set on fire.

Many fled to the jungles for safety, and have since been relocated to relief camps.

Please pray.
