Dear praying friends,

March 17 –The nights of trembling continue on. By 7 pm, every house would turn off their light because we are afraid to be noticed by the military. The whole country was in Darkness, not only Spiritually but also physically. Within a week, hundreds have been killed. The internet connection was cut off country-wide, but fiber wifi was somehow working with a low connection ( I don’t know why?) But it really affected so many people. People cannot anymore show the world what was exactly going on through live video. 

After martial law was announced, the military terrorist resided in every place. No one dares to go out even in the afternoon. Everyone locks their doors and hides inside their houses. Not very long, we received very upsetting news, our former bible college student, youth pastor was shot dead in his lung. He was trying to fetch his sister, who was in the uprising area. A 25 years old young man who loves the Lord and has such a Christlike character passed away. My heart was broken: “Sometimes things that happened are too hard to accept despite the fact we know that God is in control.”

March 18- We received the news again that the soldiers captured our former student and brother. We learned that he was put in jail; please continue to pray for him. We do not know what they will do to him. We trust that the hand of the Lord will be upon him. 

March 19 – Near our house is a dormitory, and there is a loving couple who recently has a newborn baby. The husband’s occupation was transporter by bike, he went out to buy something, never returned. A civilian found his body; he was shot dead. We dare not to let his wife know about this yet. 

To all my praying friends, the reason I am giving to you all these updates is for you to know how to pray for our country. I am not trying to scare you, but the condition of this world and people’s mind is deteriorating day by day. Please pray for us that at this very last minute, the Lord might change direction and give us another great privilege to preach the gospel freely, even if it is just a short moment.
