INDIA
Ravi Murmu (Evangelist, Jamalpur,
Bihar) was brutally killed last Sunday
night, 2 May, after showing the
Jesus film with other evangelists in
Laxmanpur
(Bihar). After the meeting he was alone as
others had left a little earlier. When he
didn't reach home by late night, a search
ensued and they found his
severally lacerated dead body. One hand was
severally cut, and there were deep cut
wounds on his neck and other parts of the
body. The
reasons for the attack are still unknown.
His belongings at the time of attack were
found intact including his motorbike, cell
phone, watch & Bible, and so it looks as if
he was murdered for his faith. He had been
commended by the Bethel Assembly in Jamalpur,
Bihar.
He leaves behind
his wife,
Rinku, an 8 year old daughter,
Celesty,
and a mother.
JAPAN
Ken and
Christine Cowell were encouraged last
Sunday when
Mrs Inoue trusted the Lord at the
Milton
Keynes Japanese church. They have
talked with her several times in the past so
were thrilled to see her finally take the
step of faith.
Pray
that she will have assurance of salvation
and grow in her faith. In
Kushiro,
one person is to be baptised on
9th May
and two others are hoping to be
baptised in the future. On
11th May Ken
and Christine are making a
three-week
visit to Japan, so would value
prayer
for their time there.
