The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (February 28, 2010) that Christian leaders in Chiapas, Mexico, are calling on state and federal officials to protect evangelicals following an attack in the city of Tumbala.
Sympathizers of leftist rebels known as zapatistas assaulted about 40 evangelical Christians while they were in their homes sleeping. A 49-year-old man was killed, and 20 other Christians -- including women and children -- were injured.
The Christians are members of the El Horeb Presbyterian Church. So far, no suspects have been arrested.
For years, Evangelicals in Chiapas have been the targets of leftist rebels and traditional religious groups.
