Pastor Bartholomew leads a congregation with 30 believers. On October 27 some new visitors attended his Sunday service. No one in the congregation knew the visitors, but all seemed well until that evening, when the same people, now intoxicated, came to the pastor and told him to leave the area or be beaten.

Later, Pastor Bartholomew discovered these people were members of a dominant religion in the area.

When their threats failed, the religious fanatics threatened Pastor Bartholomew’s landlord, saying, “If you would tell this pastor to leave this place, we will not harm you, but if he continues his ministry here, we will harm you and your family.”

The landlord fears what the group might do and has told Pastor Bartholomew to vacate the house as soon as possible.

Please pray for:

  • Protection for Pastor Bartholomew and his family, the landlord and his family, and the local believers.
  • Provision for Pastor Bartholomew’s housing and for a meeting place for the church.
  • The landlord, his family and the fanatics to know the Lord and follow Him.
