- Three Baptist pastors were killed in an armed ambush in Manipur, India after attending an interchurch peace conference
- The pastors were working to ease tensions between tribal Christian communities in the conflict-torn region

Three Baptist pastors lost their lives in a violent ambush while returning home from a peace conference in India’s northeastern state of Manipur. The pastors had been participating in an interchurch gathering focused on reducing tensions between tribal Christian communities in the region.
The deadly attack occurred on Wednesday, May 13, as the pastors traveled home from the conference. In addition to the three pastors killed, at least five others were wounded in the ambush.
Manipur has experienced ongoing conflict and violence, with Christian communities caught in the crossfire of ethnic and territorial disputes. The pastors were actively working to promote reconciliation and peace among these communities when they were targeted.
The violence against these faithful servants highlights the dangerous conditions facing Christians in certain parts of India, particularly in regions experiencing ethnic strife. These pastors were committed to their calling as peacemakers, embodying the biblical call to be ambassadors of reconciliation even in hostile environments.
The attack underscores the persecution that Christians continue to face in various parts of the world, including India, where religious minorities have increasingly reported instances of violence and intimidation. These pastors paid the ultimate price while pursuing the ministry of peace.
The loss of these three pastors represents not only a tragedy for their families and congregations, but also for the broader Christian community in Manipur that desperately needs leaders committed to unity and peace. Their sacrifice stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to Christ’s call to be peacemakers.
