Prayer For The Wider Area:

Church evicted from its meeting place

Kundan Bose-a pastor supported by Gospel for Asia-and his congregation in South Asia have been evicted from their church home. The house church had been meeting in the home of one of the believers, Victor Pillai. However, following Victor's death last month, two of his sons who are opposed to Christianity told the church to leave. They also have been making life more difficult for Victor's other two surviving sons who know the Lord and are active in Kundan's church
Many others in the village are also opposed to the Gospel and church activities. In light of that, the growth of the church congregation is amazing.

For hundreds of years, the villagers in this tribal community have worshipped multiple deities. Black magic practices and witchcraft are established village traditions.

Kundan spent years faithfully sharing the hope of Christ with them. This whole village is considered by society as untouchable, and Kundan demonstrates the love of Christ by ministering to their tangible needs.

After surviving attack, Pakistani Christian fears his family wants to kill him

After refusing bribes to convert to Islam, Pakistani Christian Riaz Masih, 26, sustained a beating from his four older brothers earlier this month.

Compass Direct News reported Masih's parents, who were Christians, died when he was a boy. After their deaths, a Muslim cleric, Moulvi Peer Akram-Ullah, raised him and his siblings. One by one, the cleric bribed the children to convert to Islam and recant their Christian faith.

Since then, Akram-Ullah continued to coerce Masih. Akram-Ullah and Masih's brothers offered him "1 million rupees, a spacious residence, and a woman of his choice to marry," according to Compass.

He declined, however, and his brothers proceeded to beat him with bamboo clubs until he was unconscious, and then left him for dead.

Miraculously, Masih survived and sought shelter in an area Christian's home in an undisclosed location. Currently a human rights organization, has assisted him with financial, medical and moral support.

Masih fears for his life. "Since [my family] discovered that I was alive and hiding somewhere, they are on the hunt for me," Masih told Compass. "And if they found me, they would surely kill me."
