Taksheel called his congregation to fasting and prayer for those who were persecuting them. |
The local church was active in sharing the Gospel with the villagers. Many times, Taksheel, a Gospel for Asia-supported missionary, along with believers from the church , would travel house-to-house in order to tell the people about Jesus.
One day while sharing the Gospel with the people, Taksheel was threatened by an anti-Christian extremist group in his village. They told him to stop sharing the Gospel and leave the village immediately.
The believers in the local church were afraid because of the threats and lost all courage. They wanted to leave the village.
However, Taksheel refused to leave knowing that it was better to obey God rather than man. He had the believers fast and pray for three days so they would be encouraged to spread the Gospel no matter what happens.
Taksheel requests prayers for his congregation that God would fill all of them with a passion to reach out to people in their village and that the new believers in the faith may continue to stand firm. Taksheel also requests that God change the hearts of the anti-Christian group that threatened him.
