As the Bible tells us about Paul and Silas who were falsely imprisoned yet their faith was not weakened so is à story of à missionary from India. Hé was just
released from prison after facing a false
charge that kept him behind bars for eight
years. The missionary has only been identified
as “Pastor Samuel,” but has experienced the
kind of nightmarish ordeal that no human being
should have to endure.
Samuel arrived in Jhharkhand, India in 2004,
where he was arrested for allegedly being
part of a riot that caused the deaths of 19
people. He told police that he had nothing
to do with the incident, but they didn’t
believe him and put him in prison anyway.
Someone identified him as being part of a
rebel group that he knew nothing about.
The pastor was separated from his wife and
daughter for the entire period, and he only
got some kind of justice in 2010, when a judge
ruled that there was insufficient evidence to
convict him of his crimes. But the problem
for poor Samuel is that the courts then again
delayed the next hearing that would get him
released. This wasn’t a short delay either,
taking three years for the courts to get it
together.
He is finally free today, but only after being
traumatized by his misery.
“I was totally depressed in this situation, but
the Lord helped me to realize he has a special
plan for me to be in the prison,” he said. “The
Lord is helping me to share the love of Jesus
with the prisoners. Through my ministry, I see
the transformation that is happening in their
lives.”
Samuel says that while he was in prison, he
spent his time helping other inmates find
Christ.
