MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

India, the most populous country in the world, is a global economic and technology powerhouse. However, it grapples with poverty, youth unemployment, religious tolerance, press freedom, and government corruption. The Church in India, despite these challenges, has experienced significant unity and growth in the past decade. Ranked 11th on the Open Doors USA Persecution List, India still offers opportunities for evangelistic work. It is crucial that we continue to pray for these social and religious issues in India.
