Unrest Sparks New Violence Against Christians

[172] prayers in [8] nations have been posted for Bangladesh Christians.

Political violence has escalated in Bangladesh, resulting in the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and at least 95 deaths on a single day (Aug. 4) in the capital city, Dhaka. Front-line workers report increased targeted attacks against Christians as a result. In one case, a church was attacked by an armed crowd that damaged vehicles and tried to set fire to the building early one morning. According to another report, several individual Christians in a northern district were attacked. Front-line workers request prayer for peace in Bangladesh and for the protection of Christian brothers and sisters who have been targeted by extremist groups taking advantage of the country’s chaos.

  • When JESUS was caught in a mob, HE had to run away because it was not yet HIS time. When Rome was slaughtering the CHRISTIANS, they had to run to other countries. Satan has most of the world as his army and he hates CHRISTIANS. With a destroyed government it is time to run. Psalm 31:24 tells us " to be of good courage". FATHER, I pray safety for these.
