While meeting for prayer on 28 June 2023, Poonam Bind, her parents and another sister in Christ were arrested on charges of converting Hindus. They spent the next two months in jail. Poonam and the other Christian women with her used the time to minister to the other 150 female inmates in the jail and led many of the women to place their faith in Christ. “I realized God had a wonderful plan for those people to be saved, and so I was there,” Poonam said. “I saw how people were treated and troubled and how badly they needed Jesus in their lives.” She continues to disciple many of the women who came to Christ in jail. This is the third time Poonam has been arrested for her Christian witness, but she accepts her circumstances joyfully: “I want to resume my ministry, as my fear of going to jail has gone away since I landed in the jail and saw miracles happening through me there.”
