Dear friends,
In March, we shared how some Christian students had been threatened with expulsion from their college. Oppression from university authorities is continuing to put some students in Eurasia under great pressure. This week, please join us in praying for our friends living in this region. This week a friend wrote: ‘The difficult situation in the university continues. Three students have been dealing with lots of psychological pressure. Dorm officials are watching them closely and their teachers have become much stricter when grading them. They have also been forced to see school psychologists and members of the school administration who think they have been brainwashed. The city mayor, officials and TV reporters are coming to talk to all students about the danger of strange religious groups. After a public meeting, the three students had private meetings with the police. The mother of one student is quite upset and has threatened to ask the college to separate her child from another student who she thinks might be influencing her child’s decisions on faith. The students are exhausted and scared. ‘In another incident, a student who is very active in our Christian group has been told by the dean of the department that it will be hard to get a grant to pursue her Master's Degree because of her new-found faith. This student had a dream of joining the faculty and letting God change the faculty and campus through her influence there.’ Please keep praying for these students, giving thanks to God for their faith. They are all encouraged to know that believers worldwide are lifting them up to the throne of grace.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers!
Blessings,
