Please pray for a believer and his family. Pray that he will be bold and wise as he faces persecution. Despite his own financial difficulties, he and his wife feel God’s calling for him to start a house church in their city. When he and his wife shared their heart to plant a church, it was apparent that God had prepared them for years and that He would use the family to reach out to the people in their city during this difficult time. As the family seeks God’s guidance and leadership, pray they will be obedient to His will. Pray also for their three children who are homeschooled, although homeschooling is publicly discouraged in their community.
