As Pastor Bashir Masih was getting ready for Sunday worship at the Shalom Prayer Hut in Kanlibagh, Kashmir on July 29, a leader from a nearby mosque, along with five other men, ordered him to vacate and close the house church. Pastor Bashir's handicapped son has reportedly been beaten by Muslims in the past for his faith in Christ. Muslims have also stopped supplying Pastor Bashir and his three children with drinking water in order to pressure them into leaving the area.
Pray for strength and endurance for Pastor Bashir, his family and his congregation.
Pray that those opposing the message of Christ will come to trust the God of the Bible.
