Pious is a Christian convert who gave his life to the Lord about five years ago. As a result of his faith, he lost his job as an artist and faced much pressure from his family.
In April 2021, he was kidnapped, chained, beaten and had his throat cut. Fortunately for Pious, some passersby, who witnessed the attack, intervened and rescued him from his attackers. Police have linked the attackers to Pious’ family.
Following the brutal attack, Pious has had to hide for several months until he could obtain a visa to leave the country. He is now seeking asylum in a neighbouring country where local brothers and sisters-in-Christ have welcomed him and are willing to mentor him.
Pray that Pious will be successful in getting asylum and be able to leave the country safely. Pray that he will continue to grow in his faith and maturity in Christ. Pray that his family members will have an opportunity to hear the gospel and receive salvation.
