Bhutan Commitment to Prayer Counters Fear of Persecution

12/11/2025  (VOM)

For Christians in Buddhist-dominated Bhutan, fear of the government and the reaction of neighbors to Christian witness runs deep. Anti-conversion laws can bring punishments up to life imprisonment for carrying out the activities of the Christian faith. However, many faithful brothers and sisters in Christ remain committed to Him despite the risk. One Christian woman has dedicated herself to praying continuously. Seven days each week, she goes to her church to pray, returning home only to sleep.

Please pray…

• Pray for Bhutanese Christians to have strength and courage to persevere in the face of their fears and the pressures they feel.

• Pray for protection and encouragement for those who are facing opposition, imprisonment or family rejection.

• Pray that the Lord will move in the hearts of those in the government to soften their stance against Christianity.
