. Your prayers please for our Pakistani family in Christ- Muskan Salman, aged 15, has been abducted a second time by the same man who tried to illegally marry her previously. Please pray for her parents and that she would be safely returned to her parents.

. The church in Laos- though restrictions on our Christian faith have offiically eased, local authorities are still trying to clamp down on it. It was very encouraging to read that there are many 'Pauls' in Laos who were persecutors, but have now seen the light of Christ!

. Your continued prayers please for pastor Raymond Koh, he was abducted in 2017 and his whereabouts and whether he is alive, is currently unknown. Pray also for his wife during this unimaginably difficult time, that she may get closure.

. A very moving story about a brother in Christ in Ethiopia "Joshua", after him and his family were led to Christ, they were attacked by militants. He survived the attack, but his wife and children died, and are now in glory. After returning to his family, they rejected him. Despite all of this, he is a missionary and church planter. Let us pray his ministry bears much fruit and that he comes to terms with the loss of his wife and children.

. We read about a sister known as Mrs. Kim, aged 96 - she had seen Christians risk death, her uncle had given her a Bible and her Grandma preached the Gospel in her native North Korea but she became saved after fleeing to South Korea. Despite surviving domestic abuse, war, etc she is strong and bold in sharing the Gospel- may we be like her if we live this long!
