Ethnic Clashes Between Two Tribes Causing Danger
May 25, 2009
Life in most tribal areas is very primitive. The people make a living in agriculture and generally participate in animistic worship practices. |
More than 20 people were killed and 300 homes have burned since May 19 as ethnic violence broke out between two tribes in Asia. Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Eno Mager serves as pastor of a church in the area. Some people did try to burn the church down, but by the grace of God, it was protected.
Eno shared the following prayer requests:
- Pray for God's protection over the believers in the church.
- Pray for the outreach ministry of the church as they try to share God's love in the midst of the tension.
- Pray for the safety of the tribal members who are studying in a GFA-supported education center in the area.
- Pray for the two tribes, that the Lord will help them to care for each other and stop fighting.
