Indian elections take place between 14 April and 1 June. Please join in these prayer requests from Open Doors local partners in India, asking that the elections would be peaceful and fair, and that our church family would be protected.
Nationwide elections are taking place in India between 19 April and 1 June, in seven phases across different states. The results will be known on 4 June. Christians in India are asking their global church family to join in praying during these elections. These believers know that religious freedom is at stake. Freedom of religion or belief is a constitutional right in India – but Hindu nationalists are increasingly threatening that right.
As the elections continue, you’ll find the latest prayer points from Open Doors partners in India, and other local believers, on this page.
Father God, please bless all of my brothers and sisters in India during these elections. May they be protected from harm – either violence, or the misuse of laws. Pour Your peace over the election process, and let truth and justice prevail. By Your sovereign power, please use whoever comes to power in each state to uphold religious freedom. Amen.
Your support helps persecuted Christians continue to courageously follow Jesus.
Together, we can reach those where persecution hits hardest.
