A pastor in Karnataka, India, has been beaten by a group of youths after his church's Sunday Service ended on January 7. The pastor needed sixteen stitches for the injuries he sustained from the assault on his head and back.
Pastor Kennedy was worshipping with his church members at Jesus Preeti Church on the morning of January 7 for Sunday Service when seven youths entered the house church and joined the service.
The youth approached Pastor Kennedy after the service had ended and other church members had left. The youth requested the pastor to pray for a "sick friend" whose residence was near the church.
As they were leaving the church premises to head to the sick friend's home, four of the youth attacked Pastor Kennedy.
