Every week we try our best to highlight important prayer requests so that you can pray and also let your churches pray. You may get these requests and more sent to your email box by visiting www.persecution.com .
Today I want to highlight two requests that are especially important. Please pray.
INDIA - Missionary Attacked - VOM Sources
On March 6, a missionary in Kashmir was attacked by masked people and beaten with steel pipes and wooden sticks. He became unconscious and some people found him on the street with a broken leg and took him to the hospital. His family is under threat. Pray for God's healing power to touch his body and for protection for his family. Pray for protection for believers in this area. Ephesians 6:18-20
BENIN - Church Destroyed by Militant Muslims - VOM Sources / Christian Aid
According to a March 2 report from Christian Aid, local Muslims destroyed a church building in January, three days after it was built. The church was established among the Ayizo tribe by a native missionary working with Christ's Power Ministries (CPM). Four months earlier, CPM's center of discipleship was also destroyed. Islam is spreading in Africa. It is estimated that 30 percent of Benin's population is now Muslim. Ask God to give these church members in Benin boldness so they will continue to meet despite threats of persecution. Psalm 138:1-3
