Over 1 lakh Hindus allegedly converted in just one week, according to a US-based Christian pastor, who also claims that the RSS and PM Modi made conversions difficult in north India.
There is a conversion spree going on in India. While we are still trying to digest the facts of Kerala Conversions and the stories of many women, we come across Christian conversions that have obnoxious count. Christian organisations continue to protest the alleged “persecution” in India, and the United States has frequently reprimanded and lectured India about minorities’ rights in its numerous human rights reports. However, India has continuously refuted their claims and returned the favour. In a ten-month-old YouTube video, a preacher said that India was the top country for conversions and that, despite the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, they had succeeded in their mission. While India is at war within itself for ministries, power and money, thankfully there are some leaders looking at all possible problem in the country.
In addition, Pastor Chris Hodges boasted that in just one week, the missionaries his group supports had already converted more than 100,000 Hindus. In a sermon that lasted over 39 minutes, the pastor made the claims. On its official website, https://www.churchofthehighlands.com, the Church of the Highlands described itself as a life-giving church gathering in various places throughout Alabama and West Georgia. Chris Hodges is its senior pastor. The Church of the Highlands was founded by Chris Hodges, who serves as its senior pastor. In 2001, he co-founded ARC (Association of Related Churches), which went on to plant hundreds of churches all throughout the country. In order to assist pastors and churches in overcoming obstacles and realising their full growth potential, he also launched Grow. Chris founded and serves as the chancellor of Highlands College, a school for ministry training that prepares and places students in full-time ministry positions.
“Chris and his wife Tammy have five kids, and they reside in Birmingham, Alabama, the birthplace of Church of the Highlands,” it said. In addition to being the author of Fresh Air, Four Cups, The Daniel Dilemma, What’s Next, Out of the Cave, and Pray First, he also talks at conferences all over the world. In a video titled “Signs of the Times” posted on August 22, 2016, by the Church of the Highlands on its official account, Chris Hodges referred to the Hindu population of India as “lost people,” saying that one of his missionaries had told him, “One of the places on the planet where it’s the largest concentration of lost people that are both unengaged and unreached.” And it’s in the region of northern India, he added. Despite the fact that much of the southern region was Christianized. Over the past ten years, India has made some very terrible decisions. Notably, the National Democratic Alliance, which is led by the Bharatiya Janata Party and has been in office since 2014, has cancelled the licences of various organisations for breaking the 2010 Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), including Christian charities.
By disguising themselves as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that advance the welfare of the oppressed and marginalised elements of society, missionary organizations—which are frequently financed by foreign entities—attempt to convert people while disguising their genuine purpose. A frustrated Pastor Chris Hodges said, “Their Prime Minister has literally driven out a lot of Christian agencies, and there’s whole organisation is centred on getting India 100% Hindu. And it has become quite gloomy there. Most crucially, he made up a false claim without offering any proof. And honestly, you should pray for the Christians in India and all across the world, he continued. They are suffering from severe persecution and are dying daily. It is taking place. He didn’t even think twice before bringing up RSS and levelling false accusations against the group. It’s awful that a group by the name of the RSS basically exists only to destroy you and persecute Christians.
The missionary told him that they sponsor a group in north India, but he didn’t go into specifics, the preacher commented. “But they are in that part of northern India, and they are fasting for 21 days. Right now, they are fasting and praying. And during their prayer meeting, they received a message from God in which they sensed that if they immediately went and engaged in outreach activities, God would anoint them. They are now performing it. He stated their purpose and described how innocent people are tricked into accepting Christianity. “And they arranged themselves into 3,931 outreach teams, distributed to evangelise in 15 of India’s northern states, and God appeared. So they would go lay their hands on the sick, regular Christians, and the sick would suddenly get well. He explained how missionaries use the folklore of demon possession as a trap for the gullible. And they had demon-possessed individuals there who were radically delivered after torturing the entire town and being widely known to be demon-possessed. They were ecstatic that this devil had been set loose, and it was so radical.
The pastor made it apparent that the missionaries send out “demon-possessed” individuals to cause disturbance in the villages, and that when the pastors enter the villages like messiahs, they cast the demon out of the individuals and restore “peace” to the community. After that, they find the conversion party to be extremely simple. “Now, in one instance, when this woman was delivered, 150 families immediately dedicated their lives to Jesus because they were so overjoyed that she was now a woman of peace. Chris Hodges bragged, “Whenever it happened, it was simply great, just amazing. In the Bible, deliverance refers to God’s actions that save his people—the Christians—from danger.
He questioned his audience, “But in their outreach projects, just this past week-you ready for it?” as he gave them the ‘joyous’ conversion figures. You should rejoice at the fact that 112,124 Hindus accepted Christ as their Saviour just last week. Come on, everyone, thank God together.
There are many funny Christian strategies that are effective conversion tools. The songs “Arararara” and “Mera Yeshu Yeshu” are great for creating memes and entertaining the crowd. However, these are powerful tools that entice Hindus away from their religion and towards Christianity by preying on their impressionable minds. A woman named Pushpa Diwadkar’s video, which said she had been bedridden for years due to failing kidneys, was one of these exceptionally well-liked ones. Along with his followers, the pastor screamed, “Ohhhhhh Shakararararar Rararara,” and as the shouts grew louder, Pushpa passed out and fell to the ground. After one of his followers placed her hand on the woman’s stomach, she was later spotted strolling peacefully while being applauded wildly. There are a hundred such examples, this being only one. A conversion mafia is at work, using every ploy in the book to convert as many gullible Hindus as they can, as evidenced by the alleged miracles performed in these enormous gatherings where the silent talk and the lame run.
Christian organisations have seized every opportunity in recent years to win over gullible Hindus to Christianity through a variety of means, including the construction of churches, massive evangelistic camps, open-air prayers, and healing services for the ill. Videos of criticised Christian gatherings are frequently posted on social media networks. These evangelical gatherings, however, have developed over the past few decades into significant venues for converting non-Christians to Christianity. Thus, the evangelists have been effective in seducing ignorant Hindus from the heartlands, dense jungles, rural areas, and urban places. Furthermore, they did this without concern for repercussions.
The sad truth is that these organisations are still quite active and carrying out their purpose of conversion with a great deal of impunity despite the Modi government’s numerous attempts to control and keep them in check. One fact that we can rely on is that these organisations are really scared of PM Narendra Modi’s strategies and vision.
