Faith Flourishes Amid Persecution: A Pastor's Journey

“I lead a prayer meeting with new believers twice a week. It’s a beautiful time to encourage each other and discover more of what it means to be a community of Christ followers, especially in the risk of persecution we all face each day.

Our congregation was shocked when our church building and my home was destroyed. Many people here oppose the Gospel, and were angry about this meeting of new believers who converted from other religions.

This act of violence hasn’t stopped our mission! Because of your help we are able to move around as needed. Please be praying for us.

I’m so grateful to the Lord Jesus for giving us the opportunities to preach the Gospel to the people around us. During this transition, we’re helping four homeless families. In the midst of every challenge, I’m reminded of why it’s worth it. Only because you supported us can we have the opportunity to preach the Gospel in these places.”
