Authorities Raid Christian Youth Conference

[193] prayers in [13] 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.
