Authorities Raid Christian Youth Conference

[11] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Christians in Bhutan.

A Christian youth conference scheduled in Bhutan was disrupted when authorities raided the location and demanded that organizers show permits, which did not exist because Christian events are not allowed by the Buddhist government. Authorities then summoned the organizers for interrogation. The raid caused organizers of other youth events to change their plans as they wait to see the consequences. Pray for Christians in Bhutan who are reaching and discipling young people to have wisdom and courage as they plan and lead their ministries so that many will come to know and follow Jesus Christ in Bhutan.

  • Almighty God, We thank you for so great salvation and that it has found so many in Bhutan. We ask that the gates of hell will not prevail in Bhutan against the spread f the gospel. That many Bibles would be smuggled in. I ask for those who have lost home, job, citizenship that you would make up for those losses.

  • Dear Heavenly Father I amen these previous prayers. Like You did in Vietnam for Christmas, I pray the love of the Christians would be so outstanding & shown so beneficial to the community, that the Buddhist govt. would have no reservations against it any longer. Let them see how it heals, how it binds up, how it sets free. In Jesus' Faithful Name amen.
