On 4th May, 13 new believers, from three families who are related, received salvation in Christ after witnessing one of their relatives miraculous healed of an ailment following the prayer from a pastor.
Out of the 120 families living in this village, 40 families are already Christian.
After becoming Christians, the men from each of the three families of new believers were taken into custody and interrogated. The men were told they had to first obtain official documentation from a government office if they wanted to continue following a foreign religion or else face jail term. The families’ case is now with the provincial authorities awaiting the required documentation.
Pray that these three families will be able to obtain the proper documentation and continue following Jesus. Pray that they will continue to trust in the Lord to make a way for them, for those who believe in God will not be put to shame (Rom 10:11).
Pray that many other villagers will also come to know the Lord through the faith and living testimonies of these new believers.
