At least three Christians have been fined recently for violating a new amendment to Russia’s Religion Laws that prohibits sharing of beliefs. Pastor Aleksei Telius and two foreign residents, Ebenezer Tuah and Donald Ossewaarde, were fined on charges that they shared their beliefs with those outside their church groups through social media or church fliers. The maximum fine is the equivalent of six weeks’ average wages. Please pray for these Christian leaders and others who face similar fines.

A Pakistani evangelist was killed on July 10 for sharing the gospel with Muslims. Rehan attended a prayer meeting with about 20 other believers before being called away just before dinner to meet with a Muslim man he had openly shared his faith with for several years. Rehan’s parents and sisters later received a phone call from authorities informing them that he had been killed. Police questioned the Muslim man, who accused several others before finally confessing that he had killed Rehan because “he was very active to share the Word of God with Muslims.” Please pray for Rehan’s family and church community.
Petr Jasek, a former hospital administrator from Czech Republic, is currently being tried in Khartoum, Sudan, on charges of “crimes against national security.” If convicted of the charges, Mr. Jasek, along with two Sudanese pastors and another Sudanese man being tried on the same charges, could face the death penalty. Please pray for Mr. Jasek, along with Rev. Hassan Abduraheem, Rev. Kuwa Shamal and for the other Sudanese man, as their trial continues. Pray for favor with court officials, for justice in their trial and that all four men will be freed and allowed to return to their families. Pray that God will continue to protect and sustain these men who have been unjustly imprisoned for more than nine months.
