Jailed as a murderer, Blawan Kumar Paswan felt hopeless. Then a Christian in his prison shared the Gospel with him. Blawan placed his trust in Jesus Christ and was baptized. A jailer observed the changes in Blawan’s life and recommended early release after he had served 10 years. Blawan returned to his village and dedicated his life to sharing the Gospel. However persecution followed. His uncle evicted his family and took their possessions. On 1 December 2023, a group of drunken men beat Blawan and his wife, Bina. They accused the couple of spoiling their culture by preaching about Jesus. Local Believers have donated clothes and groceries, and Front-Line Workers have offered to relocate the family, but Blawan refused. “If I leave this place, how can I witness Jesus to these people again, and what will happen to other new Believers?” he said. “My family and I are not going to leave this place. They can weaken my body but not my faith.” Praise the Lord for Blawan's faithfulness.
