Title: INDIA’S NEW ANTI-CONVERSION LAWS
Topic: Religious Freedom

Discussed by Don Shenk Shenk
with The Tide (www.thetide.org/)

As the world becomes more of a global village, should Christians be able to freely share their faith in Jesus Christ? How can we do this, though, with so many restrictions in countries around the world?

In India, for example, there are over 1.2 billion people who have yet to hear the hope found in Jesus. But more restrictions have just been placed on Christians in India, which will make it nearly impossible to spread the Gospel.

Today, new guest, Don Shenk, discusses the “religious” bill that was recently passed in India and how it will affect their work in the country. Don is the Executive Director for the ministry and has acquired a wealth of international, cross-cultural ministry experience while living in and traveling throughout Africa, Eastern Europe, and India.
