Pray for "Ahanti", Who Underwent Emergency C-Section After Attack on Church
A young woman required an emergency C-section after an attack by Hindu radicals on April 15 at the Full Gospel Church. Members of the Bhagath Singh group (an RSS subsidiary) rushed into the church and told the Christians they would be killed if they continued to pray. When some of the believers continued to pray and sing, the radicals began shoving and pulling church members. A young pregnant woman, "Ahanti", was thrown to the ground, causing deep pain and stress to her unborn baby. After an emergency C-section, Ahanti and her premature daughter are both doing well. Recently, the Bhagath Singh group has been trying to force the village’s 15 Christian families to convert back to Hinduism.

Pray for Family of Murdered Pastor, Han Chung-Ryeol
Pastor Han Chung-Ryeol, a VOM partner, was brutally murdered on Saturday, April 30, in Changbai, China. Pastor Han, 49, reportedly left his church building in Changbai at 2 p.m., and his mangled body was discovered at 8 p.m. He is believed to have been killed by North Koreans, who likely returned to North Korea after committing the murder. Pastor Han was known for helping anyone who came to China from North Korea. He would provide practical aid, such as food and clothing, and introduce each person to the gospel before sending them back to North Korea to share Christ and help their families. Since planting a Three-Self Church near the North Korean border in 1993, Pastor Han had helped orphans, women enslaved to prostitution, soldiers, those starving from famine and many others. Pray for Pastor Han’s family and those inside North Korea whom he has helped. Many of these people reportedly have been detained for questioning. Also pray for those who killed him.

Pray for Tohar Haydarov, Serving a 10-Year Prison Term
Uzbek Christian Tohar Haydarov learned recently that he will be required to serve all 10 years of his sentence without the possibility of parole. Tohar has been in prison since March 2010, when he was arrested on drug charges. His church members say the charges were fabricated and he was really imprisoned because of his religious activity. Tohar’s Bible was taken away last year, but he said that he still “feels like God is next to him.” Tohar, who is featured on VOM’s PrisonerAlert.com website, receives many letters at the prison, but officials deliver only a handful because there are “too many citations from the Bible” in them. Even so, knowing the letters are coming is an encouragement to him, and he “thanks all those praying for him and thinking about him.”
