Ethnic Clashes Between Two Tribes Causing Danger

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.

• Read about a recent Gospel meeting attended by thousands of tribal people.
