Family Displaced, Threatened over Ministry

[79] prayers in [8] nations have been posted for Khumlai and family.

Khumlai, his wife and two daughters lost all their belongings in a series of attacks that began in October 2025 and culminated in the complete destruction of their home. Khumlai, who discipled 12 local Christian families in his home, had heard that the Muslim fundamentalist group Jammat-e-Islami, in coordination with some of his own Muslim family members, intended to kill him and force his daughters into Muslim marriages. He fled with his family to a nearby village before the final attack that razed their home. At the advice of his local pastor, Khumlai is relocating his family to a new area for ministry while a new pastor is coming to serve the Christian families in Khumlai’s original village. Pray for Khumlai and his family as they restart life and ministry in a new location and seek the Lord’s direction for that work. Pray also for the protection and acceptance of the new pastor in this village.
