Pray for Local Church Members

[195] prayers in [18] nations have been posted for Local Believers.

On Sunday, July 20, officials from the Committee on Religion interrupted a worship service of the International Church in Tajikistan, which meets in a building owned by the Russian Baptist Church, to question leaders about the church’s government registration. They continued to question the building’s manager as well as worshipers in attendance for about an hour before leaving. Leaders from the International Church said local believers are even more vulnerable to harassment and intimidation than the foreigners who attend the international services. They requested prayers not only for their own congregation but also for those who attend the Russian Baptist Church. At least three other churches have received similar visits in the past month.
