Church Threatened by Large Mobs for Ongoing Ministry

After a secret Christmas program at Saiful’s house church in late December 2024, someone obtained photos and exposed the church on social media, prompting outrage against Saiful and the church from several nearby mosques. Within hours, the situation escalated until a large Muslim crowd marched to the church, threatening violence. Police intervened to stop the procession, but the leaders of the rally vowed to return with more people to burn Saiful’s house. Local authorities have granted permission for the Christians to continue meeting, but Saiful has been warned to take safety precautions. Mosque leaders have instructed the Muslim community to shun the exposed Christian families; still, the Christians meet almost every day to pray and study the Word of God. They continue to share the love of Christ with those who are persecuting them.
