The opposition of anti-Christian extremists has left the church building for Pastor Kirit's congregation unfinished. |
SOUTH ASIA (ANS) -- Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Kirit Mistry and his congregation are facing unbending opposition from anti-Christian extremists in their village.
First, the extremists stopped the construction of the church building Kirit's congregation was erecting. Pastor Kirit and the believers need the church to be completed as soon possible, but the extremists have shut down the construction and are even preventing the Christians from meeting for prayer in the unfinished building.
To add insult to injury, the extremists started questioning other villagers about the activities that occur in the church. They are also threatening to put statues of their deities in the church building, Pastor Kirit informed a GFA correspondent.
In the face of this persecution, Pastor Kirit and the other GFA-supported missionaries in this region request prayer for the following:
-that a political leader, whom Christians in this area met with on July 5, will support the believers.
-that God will change the hearts of the anti-Christian extremists, and they will put their faith in Him.
-that the church building will be finished soon.
-that the Lord will protect the pastors, missionaries and believers in this area.
-that God will change the hearts of the anti-Christian extremists, and they will put their faith in Him.

-that the Lord will protect the pastors, missionaries and believers in this area.
