Subject: Weekly Prayer Updates Update 02/06/2009
 | | vom groups |  | | weekly prayer updates | | | | | | Thank you for praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world.
"Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this - always obey such an impulse." Martyn Lloyd-Jones
It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken. With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence." - 2 Corinthians 4:13-14 | | | VOM-USA Prayer Update for February 3, 2009

INDIA - Pastor beaten in Andhra Pradesh – VOM Sources
On January 16, Pastor Yakobu, 37, was attacked by Hindu extremists at his home in Gumpula village, Andhra Pradesh, India, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts. At midnight, Pastor Yakobu was home alone when he heard a knock on his door. When he answered, six men burst in, beat him, cut him with a knife and shaved his head. They also set fire to his clothes and books and shouted that they didn't want any pastors in the village. The next morning, Pastor Yakobu and several other local pastors went to the police station and filed a complaint against the attackers. Pray for healing for Pastor Yakobu. Pray that he, his wife and their children will rely on God's guidance and care. Pray for an outpouring of the Lord's Spirit in India to embolden and strengthen Christians facing trials for their faith.

SRI LANKA - UPDATE: Christians lobby against anti-conversion bill – VOM Sources
In February, the Sri Lankan parliament is due to debate a draft bill entitled "Prohibition of Forcible Conversion of Religion." The debate on this bill comes as the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress launched a report in January that contained highly inflammatory and false accusations against the Christian community in an attempt to bolster support for the repressive legislation. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka is urging immediate attention in advocating against the proposed anti-conversion bill. Anti-conversion bills are often used to stop Christians from evangelizing. Pray this legislation is not passed into law in Sri Lanka. Ask God to encourage believers to remain faithful in their commitment to Christ despite attempts by the government to silence them. Thank God for the faithfulness of believers in Sri Lanka.
Romans 8:31
CHINA – Prominent House Church Leader Forced Out of Beijing – China Aid Association
On Jan. 16, more than a dozen Public Security Bureau (PSB) officers forcibly escorted Pastor "Bike" Zhang Mingxuan from another pastor's home in Beijing and forcibly put him on a bus to Henan province. Pastor Bike went to Beijing to Pastor Hua Huiqi's home to see the church leader's father, Hua Zaichen who is dying. But Chinese authorities continue to refuse to allow Pastor Bike and his family to stay in the country's capital city. Government officials broke into the house while Pastor Bike was praying for Hua Zaichen, who is 91. Chinese authorities are also preventing the ailing man's wife, 79-year-old Shuang Shuying who is in prison, from seeing him. Please continue praying for Pastor Hua's family as they go through immense challenges. Ask God to encourage Pastor Bike to continue his ministry despite the Chinese government persecution. Praise God for his resilience and ask him to not lose heart in well-doing.
