Their village has since been burned, and those unable to escape were tragically killed. The military now controls communication and has cut off both internet and phone lines, making contact extremely difficult.

Some brethren are sheltering with others, some are hiding in the countryside, and others no one’s been able to reach them. Despite these hardships, theyโ€™ve asked for one thing: our prayers.

Please join us in praying for their safety, strength, and Godโ€™s divine protection during this time of great danger for them! We’ll keep you updated on the situation as we receive it.
