Indian authorities arrest 3 Christians for outreach to Hindus
Last week, authorities in northern India arrested three Christians, including a pastor, for conducting an evangelistic outreach to Hindus.
The arrests were made in the state of Uttar Pradesh under its anti-conversion law. This comes just days after India’s top court criticized the state’s use of the law to target Christians.
Such anti-conversions laws are used throughout India to persecute Christians. Believers face the harshest treatment in Uttar Pradesh.
India is ranked 11th on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.
Trump oversaw Cambodia-Thailand Peace Deal
U.S. President Donald Trump is visiting countries in Asia this week.
On Sunday, he oversaw the signing of a peace agreement between Cambodia and Thailand. He also signed trade deals with both countries as well as Malaysia.
Listen to comments from President Trump on that Cambodia-Thailand peace deal.
TRUMP: “Today's signing represents just one of eight conflicts that we've ended in eight months of the Trump presidency. I'm very honored to have done it. We saved millions of lives.
“I'm here in a mission of friendship and goodwill and to deepen our ties and commerce, to strengthen our common security, and to really promote strongly, stability, prosperity and peace for all of the countries in this room and long beyond this room.”
Yesterday, President Trump visited Japan, signing a trade deal with their newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The president also plans on meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea today.

Listen to comments from Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan’s Purse.
GRAHAM: “This has been a terrible war that's taken place, but Samaritan's Purse is going and we're going to go in Jesus’ name. We've been helping the people in Israel. We've been helping the people in Gaza, and we're going to continue to help.”
Hebrews 13:16 says, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
Yelp spanked for vilifying pro-life pregnancy centers
In the United States, a federal appeals court ruled against Yelp, Inc. in a pro-life case.
Yelp operates a platform that connects people with local businesses. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing the company for placing misleading information on listings for pro-life pregnancy centers.
In a press release, Paxton said, “Yelp tried to play politics and steer users away from pro-life resources, but being based in the criminal-loving state of California will not shield them from accountability. I will continue to defend pro-life organizations that serve Texans and make sure that women and families are receiving accurate information about our state’s resources.”
