Pastor Rohit Ranjan has been acquitted of false charges after spending over two years in prison. He says he will cherish all his life the hundreds of letters and cards of encouragement sent to him by Open Doors' supporters
Some recipients of your cards and letters have said:
"The letters and postcards we've received are so numerous and lovely! My little daughter always asks me: 'Why do they write so much to Daddy?'"
"We know there are many people throughout the world who care for us, and this decreases our pain. Your love and encouragement enables us to persevere in our battle to find justice for our loved ones."
"Sadness often seizes me; but reading your letters strengthens me and in the depths of my cell God gives me peace and a joy which I cannot explain"
