Christians in Orissa state, India

Advocacy campaign ended

Thank you if you sent one of approximately 25,000 messages of concern to the Indian Prime Minister and to the Chief Minister of Orissa, speaking up on behalf of thousands of Christians in Orissa who have not received justice after violent attacks against them in August 2008.  

Many of you also wrote to your MPs through our website and at least 120 MPs took the time to personally respond to you on this issue. On 23 November Open Doors arranged for a briefing in Parliament, hosted by Mark Pritchard MP, to give an update on the situation in Orissa and urge MPs to act upon our recommendations. Thirteen MPs attended the briefing.

Please uphold Christians in Orissa, and those with the authority to improve their situation, in your prayers.

Open Doors continues to meet the needs of Christians in India by providing practical and spiritual assistance. We want to offer material support, emotional and spiritual encouragement to thousands who are in great need.
