A pastor of the Good Shepherd Church in the Polonnaruwa district of Sri Lanka oversees a drug rehabilitation centre as part of his ministry to the community.
It was reported that a Christian man working at the centre suffered abrasions on his neck after being attacked by two opposing villagers on 16th June 2023.
Then on 19th June, two other believers working at the same centre were assaulted by a few people armed with iron rods whilst they were travelling on their bicycle. One of the believers suffered an injury to his head while the other sustained wounds to his hands. Both had to seek medical treatment in hospital.
On the evening of 19th June, the same perpetrators went to the homes of two other families who were members of the Good Shepherd Church to threatened them and demand that they stop attending church.
Pray for divine protection for members of Good Shepherd Church and for believers working in the drug rehabilitation centre. Pray that those responsible for the attacks will be held accountable and restrained from committing further assaults. Pray that these perpetrators will have a personal encounter with the Lord and turn to Christ.
