Pastor Massih leads an independent house church in Ghaziabad, located about 45 minutes outside of Delhi. There, 60 people regularly gathered in his rented home for worship.

In August 2019, Pastor Massih spent 18 days in jail. This imprisonment happened after he was brutally beaten and falsely charged with forced religious conversions by a mob of radical Hindu nationalists.

After 18 days in jail, Pastor Massih was released on bail. However, the difficult situation faced by the family continued.

Unable to gather his congregation, Pastor Massih failed to gather enough support for his family. In addition to this, Pastor Massih had to attend regular court hearings and endure the harassment of radicals.

This was when ICC stepped in to support Pastor Massih and his family by providing six months of living support. This support included food aid, house rent, and school fees. This critical support helped Pastor Massih and his family survive.
