Missionary Board: "We will see the collapse of Hinduism"

In a call for greater missionary funding for conversion of Hindus, the International Missionary Board (IMB), a wing of the Southern Baptist Convention, stated in a recent newsletter that Hindu worship is Satan’s stronghold and called for the elimination of the Hindu faith. The insidious statement reads as follows:

“Did you know that the Sonar people of Maharashtra, India, are the primary crafters of gold and silver Hindu idols? These idols are the most powerful stronghold that Satan has upon the Hindu worshipers in India and around the world. When the Sonar people embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, the subsequent change in their livelihood could have a huge ripple effect in the world of Hinduism. As one international Christian worker said, “When we reach the Sonar with the gospel, we will see the collapse of Hinduism.” Pray that the gospel would flow through and permeate the Sonar culture like molten silver fills a mold.”
