Two Christian families attacked

Kathmandu, April 18: Two Christian families were physically attacked and kicked out of their homes after they chose to follow Christianity in Bhutan.

The two families were recently Christianized by Gospel for Asia missionaries Lali Bharose and Ekta Surgari, a Christian news portal said.

On Saturday, April 12, their fellow villagers attacked the new Christians and forced them out of the village. The attackers also warned Lali and Ekta to leave the village.

The Christian community in the country is very small. The government bans the religion. The new draft of the constitution also restricts Christian religion in the country.

GFA leaders ask for prayer for these two families who were attacked, that they would be able to feel the real power of Jesus in their lives. “Pray also for their complete healing and for strength to stand firm in their situation,” the portal said. Bhutan News Service
