Many Christians in Bhutan are often refused citizenship cards and other official documents needed for employment, education and most necessities.
For example, Pastor Deki and her son, Ratno, were denied citizenship cards because of their Christian work. Pastor Nidup and his wife were unable to get a marriage certificate because of their faith, which lead to their children being treated as “stateless”. And the wife of another pastor had difficulty renewing her visa to permit her to stay in the country.
Pray that these faithful Christian workers will be able to obtain the citizenship documents or other official documents they need. Pray that God will make a way where there was previously no way (Isa 43:14-21).
Pray that the Lord will encourage these believers such that they will continue to be powerful witnesses for Christ in spite of the persecution.
