Former Teacher Faces Seven Years in Prison

[240] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Alisher.

About two years ago, a school teacher named Alisher placed his faith in Christ and began actively sharing the gospel. As a result, he was fired from his job as a teacher. Then, the secret police forced former students to denounce Alisher in writing. The local prosecutor has since filed charges against him, and he faces the possibility of up to seven years in prison. Pray for Alisher’s encouragement and for a quick and positive resolution to his case.

Bless our brothers and sisters who are suffering for their faith and strengthen those of us who are not used to such persecution. You promise to not lose a single one of your lambs, and I ask that you would hold us close in these trying times. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Keep him from prison but if it is your will, let him literally turn every prisoner he comes in contact with to you so Satan's plan is destroyed.
