Tense situation in Kashmir : School set ablaze

The Christian community in Kashmir ( Indian side) need our prayers for safety at this time . The Tanmarg branch of Tyndale Biscoe and Mallinson school has been set on fire . The fire is bad though there is no news yet of people hurt yet . Curfew has been enforced .

The region has been marred by violence for over two months now . Besides other political reasons , the news of proposed Quran burning in America ( now cancelled ) has fueled anger .

CMS has a Co Mission Partner couple in Srinagar and have asked us uphold them and the few hundred Christian people in the region in prayers.
