House Church run by Salem Voice Ministries demolished by Muslim extremists

The demolished house church in Malabar, India.
MALABAR, INDIA (ANS) — An underground house church of Salem Voice Ministries was demolished by Muslim extremists at Sunnam Potty in Malabar, India on December 29.
A mob of 10 to 15 people came by cars and vans with spades, pick axes, iron bars and other tools and weapons and totally demolished the church on Saturday night. The attackers are suspected to be activists of SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India).
The Rev. Paul Ciniraj of Salem Voice Ministries visited the demolished church building.
In the last few months around 50 people have been attending the church every week for worship services. The majority were individual Muslim youngsters from various families.
A baptism service was held early on Saturday morning, during which eight young people and three couples were baptized. Although it was a secret service, the news somehow leaked out. It is believed that might have provoked the extremists to demolish the church.
The church building was leased from a believer’s family without any rent. The family that owns the building lives a distance away from the churh location. In recent days they have been threatened by unknown people for giving this house to be used for prayer and worship.
Pastor Mildad and his family, who are ministering in this area, are facing death threats.
Pastor Paul Ciniraj, Director of the Salem Voice Ministries, visited the demolished church. He condemned the incident and requested prayer for the pastor and his family, the owner of the house and his family, and the believers who gather there.
