NEW DELHI — The father of one of 20 pastors ambushed in eastern India last month was soaked in blood from the attack when he told his son, “I don’t think I will make it. I just want you to know that I will be with my Maker, and you should not worry for me.”
He then collapsed, unconscious. The 52-year-old Sukra Madi was among the Christians hospitalized due to their injuries in the attack as the pastors were returning from an event to bless farm crops in Kotamateru village, in Odisha state’s Malkangiri District, on June 21.
