Real Time in the Marketplace

India. Over one-billion live there. Seventeen percent of the worlds population. Of this number, roughly two percent are Christian.

Christians have become targets of persecution by both Hindus and Muslims. Their homes have been burned, churches destroyed, men, women and children have been attacked, assaulted and even killed for their faith.
