Pastor Shot

Asia

September 9, 2010

UPDATE: In the RUSSIAN Republic of Dagestan, a pastor was shot to death on July 15 outside a church building. Earlier this year Muslims persuaded the government to close his church’s prison ministry. Witnesses think that the Muslim background believer, whose life was threatened several times previously, was murdered by Muslims for his faith.

Pray that the Christians in his city will not be intimidated but will remain steadfast in their walk with Jesus. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is in the LORD.”
