Lerm and his wife, Dow, came to faith in Christ in April 2022 and started to attend church.
A few months later, Dow’s father, who was the head of a nearby village, found out about the couple’s Christian faith. He pressured them to renounce Christ but the couple refused. Dow’s father then used his influence to evict the couple from their village and took away the income and food supplies they earned from their farm work.
Lerm asked his own father to take them in but was rejected because his father feared losing his government job. The couple and their children lost everything when they were evicted. They now live in a temporary hut on the land of another Christian brother. They remain strong in their faith.
Pray that God will provide Lerm and Dow with a permanent home to stay. Pray that this couple and their children will receive the necessary financial, emotional and spiritual support from the church and fellow brothers and sisters-in-Christ. Pray that their parents will eventually come to faith in Christ.
