Political violence has escalated in Bangladesh, resulting in the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheik Hasina and at least 95 deaths on a single day (August 4) in the capital city, Dhaka. There are reports of increased targeted attacks against Christians as a result. In one case, a church was attacked by an armed crowd that damaged vehicles and tried to set fire to the building early one morning. According to another report, several individual Christians in a northern district were attacked.
Please pray…
Pray for peace and political stability in Bangladesh and that the new government will respect the religious freedom of Christians and other non-Muslims.
Pray for the protection of Christian brothers and sisters who have been targeted by extremist groups taking advantage of the country’s chaos.
Pray that Christians in Bangladesh will remain strong in their commitment to Jesus and not lose heart.
