August 11 and 12, 2023
It was designed to mobilize Christian pastors and ministry leaders in India, and to equip them with training and resources to be prepared in the face of persecution.
What it covered
The first conference set the pattern for every gathering since: lawyers teaching pastors the law that protects them, from the fundamental rights in the constitution to what to do when someone is arrested.
How it ran
Each day began with breakfast, then praise and worship, before the teaching sessions. On the second day the lawyers’ team taught and then took questions. Pastors traveling from outside the city were offered accommodation and three meals a day.
