We’ve been advised by John Biswas, GCI’s National Ministry Leader for Bangladesh, that ISIS has become very active in Bangladesh. As a result, Christians there are in physical danger. John reports that leaders of Christian churches in Bangladesh have been receiving threatening letters and phone calls, and two pastors were brutally attacked. One is a Roman Catholic priest. The other, Pastor Luke Sircar, has expressed interest in working with us and has now taken refuge in our Mission Center. Please pray for protection for these leaders and others in harms way.

John, I pray for you every Day, May the LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, peace.
You are in our prayers..
Dear John, The thought that ISIS would make inroads into Bangladesh has crossed my mind many, many times. As a result u and your workers and members have been in my prayers and will continue to be in our prayers. Rest assured as in the Acts of the Apostles the work grew in the midst of persecution through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
So sorry to hear. I will ask the church to pray for you tomorrow. We will pray for God’s intervention and strength during this difficult time. Eric and Edna
