Jossy Chacko is the Founder and Director of Empart, an organization that transforms communities in Asia by planting churches among unreached people. Throughout this year there have been constant reports about the increasing persecution in India.
Jossy and his wife Jenni felt that they needed to be close to their leaders and workers in India to encourage and support them in their suffering. On October 4 they arrived in Chennai with their four children. While waiting for immigration clearance a group of immigration officers and armed police blocked the area and said to Jenni, an Australian national, “Sorry you can’t enter India”. The allegations made against her were that she had been ‘involved in missionary and conversion activities’.
