Pastor's Mob-Wrecked Home Cultivates Christian Unity

[6] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Pastor Dulal.

Pastor Dulal had received threats because of his Christian witness in his village. But when political upheaval in the summer of 2024 left the area without police or army protection, Muslim extremists took the opportunity to fulfill those threats. Attackers destroyed his home, gouging large holes in the walls and ripping out windows and doors while carrying away anything of value. Dulal said he was thankful that he and his family were not home at the time because he believes the attackers would have killed them. As he tried to rebuild the house, which also serves as a meeting place for the church, he was met with resistance. “No one wanted to do the work to rebuild my house because it was told throughout the village that I’m a Christian,” Dulal said. However, other Christians aided him and rebuilt the house. He was encouraged by the Christian love and unity that showed he was not alone in his time of persecution.
