An Indian court has ruled that Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Samuel should be released from prison. Samuel, who has been held in a Jharkhand, India, prison since 2004, was accused of being a member of the Naxalite rebel group.
After a series of trials, the court determined that there was insufficient evidence to charge Samuel with the crime for which he had been arrested and charged. The court declaration came in August, yet Pastor Samuel remains in prison. He is waiting for a final hearing, at which time the court will announce his release date. That hearing is not yet on the court's calendar.
While in prison, Samuel continued to reach out with the love of Jesus. Several of the prisoners chose to follow Christ, and today, there are two weekly worship services in the prison.

Praise the Lord that He granted His servant grace to stand firm in this trial, and that his faith did not grow cold or weary, rather it soared high and is deeply grounded.
Amen!
Impressive.
I pray we all have that kind of faith.
