Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, known as the RSS, is the largest terrorist network in the world, boasting five million radical members. Active since 1925, it escapes international notice, because it works only in India, fighting on the local level to persecute and oppose any non-Hindu religions, often using violence and arson to stop the spread of the Gospel. For over thirty years the RSS has been trying to stop BCM and the Paulose family. Twice they burned down the previous BCM Training Centers, and they have been burning down numerous village churches and pastors’ homes throughout for many years. Countless disciples have been beaten, injured and even killed by their radicals. They were also behind various campaigns to destroy the Paulose family. For several years there was a standing RSS offer of one year’s wages for any Hindu in Rameswaram who would kill Paulose and Sarojam, and there were several attempts. In 2004 there was a secret plot among about forty of the RSS radicals that they would fast until one of them could assassinate Billy. A boy who heard about the plot knew the Paulose family, and told them of the plan. Billy was then able to be kept safe, and guarded in travel, until other RSS violence got the police involved, and the would-be killers were banished from the island. (The similarity between that RSS plot and Acts 23:12-24 was truly remarkable.)

Beacon of Truth Ministries in Richmond, KS
I am grateful for the opportunity given to us by Unreached Villages and BCM. This has been a life changing experience for both the team from the US and also for many of the Indian people we encountered.
The two day pastor’s conference was a highlight as we saw an outpouring of God’s grace upon many persecuted and discouraged village pastors. Some of the pastors told us they were on the verge of quitting the ministry and during the conference they received the grace to continue.
Another highlight was seeing an entire tribal village accept Jesus and beg us to return to tell them more about our God.
For fifteen years, Pastor Ravi and his wife, Komaloom, have been laboring among over forty villages in rural Tamil Nadu, where the Gospel of Jesus had never been heard before. One village of about 300 families, Mangalravu, had long proven to be a hard challenge. After many years, Ravi counted only a few souls there willing to follow Jesus. . .
This October, Moses Paulose and his wife, Sarojam, spent several weeks in Sri Lanka, ministering among the thousands of disciples there, who were saved during these two decades of BCM Tamil refugee work.
