Sri Lanka - Rebuilding Homes for Christians 85-961

Country/Region: South and East Asia, Sri Lanka

During the long civil war in Sri Lanka, many homes were destroyed and the people displaced into camps. Now that the war is over, at least 2,000 displaced Christian families (mainly farmers) want to return to their land but they have no houses to live in. This project helps to build simple houses for these Christian families, at an approximate cost of £3,500 per house.

  • Atrocities against Christians in Nigeria continue unabated. In Mubi, Adamawa state, various churches were attacked at the beginning of February; eight Christians were killed and three church buildings and a number of homes set ablaze. The violence drove Christians to stay at home after dark and to keep away from services. A month later, in Sheka, Kano state, 13 Christian factory workers were shot dead. In January a sheikh who claimed to be a commander of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram declared a ceasefire on its behalf, but in March a video was circulated in which one of its leaders, Abubakar Shekau, denied that it had made a truce with anyone. Pray that the Lord will be a wall of fire around His people (Zechariah 2:5) as they face such desperate dangers. Subscribe to the prayer points rss feed Sat, May 2013 00:12
