Woman brutally beaten and stabbed for sharing her faith

Last week, a Christian woman named Amodini was brutally beaten for sharing her faith in Karnataka state, India, reports MNN.

The 40-year-old, who is part of a congregation led by a Gospel for Asia-supported missionary, was at home when 15 men came to her door. Gospel for Asia said they accused her of forcing people to convert to Christianity.

At that point, they grabbed her and began beating her. Witnesses said they attacked her with knives, calling it a horrific scene.

Following the attack, Amodini was hospitalized, listed in critical condition.

Unlike instances in the past when Christians have been attacked in India, the police immediately sprang into action, arresting 14 of the men so far.
