'...idols of Hindu gods...placed in churches.'

Several years ago, a Pastor from an Indian church, one that my church partners with, visited Calgary and related a story about such a thing. A local hindu woman had a baby who died soon after birth. The family and friends prayed for hours to various Hindu deities for hours, but to no avail. Two little boys, relatives of the child, alone in the room with the dead baby, decided to pray 'in Jesus name' and laid hands on the baby, based upon a tract they had found in their mailbox. Eventually, the mother of one of the boys said it was time to go, but the boy insisted he continue praying. Soon, the baby started breathing and crying.

The next day, the whole neighbourhood celebrated at the church. Some of the Hindus brought idols to place in the church, to 'thank' their gods. Amazingly, these idols, not one of them, could be placed standing, in front of the altar. Every time the idols were set in front of the altar and cross, they would fall on their faces. This happened dozens of times in front of the Hindus. The fact that a dead baby, dead for many hours, at room temperature, amazingly came back to life and that no idols could remain standing in front of the altar and cross, brought quite a few to faith that day and in the weeks to come.

Ms. Thakur should be careful what she wishes for! Faith grows when times get tough, and many come to Jesus when they see how the Faithful react under such oppression. Bring in Hindu idols into churches, Ms. Thakur, and see how God draws people to him, rather than your plan to drive Christians out of their Faith!

Wow. Sounds like what happened with the idol of Dagon when it was near the Ark.
