PRAY FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS Please pray for a Christian pastor in Myanmar who is of Muslim background. He was recently told he had 3 days to return to Islam or choose Jesus. His 16 year old daughter was forcibly married to a Muslim man in February. He has been receiving anonymous phone calls indicating his younger daughter is in danger. He has sent her to another village and he has fled to a safe house in the country. He is requesting prayers for himself and his family as well as for the other believers in the villages.
