Pastor Jeeva and his pregnant wife was attacked by local villagers on 13th June this year in an attempt to shut down the Omega Church in Salem district where Pastor Jeeva is in charge of worship. About 30 Christians regularly attend service in Omega Church which meets in a makeshift hall.
The men confronted Pastor Jeeva after Sunday worship and beat him up. When his pregnant wife tried to stop the attack, the men pushed her aside and beat her legs with a wooden stick. The Christian couple have previously been threatened by locals who wanted to close down the church and remove any trace of Christianity in the village.
Pray that Pastor Jeeva and his pregnant wife will be healed from the trauma of the attack. Pray that they will be strong, and their hearts will not be troubled or afraid. Pray that they will receive wisdom and guidance from the Lord to manage the challenges they are facing.
Pray that God will bless Pastor Jeeva and the Omega Church with fruitfulness and growth.
