Thank you for praying for the believers as a new round of opposition was starting. “Even though persecution is a painful experience, yet it has great benefits for both the church and unbelievers as well,” wrote missionary Lourens Laureti. “It has been very good to really experience the peace of God as we go through tough times and also to model this to our believers in the village. Please continue to pray for us as we deal with the troublemakers in the future and also as we start a new phase of evangelical teaching this coming week.”
