📍*PRAISE REPORT* 🙌🏽

Yet another amazing testimony from the *Dhanbad district of Jharkhand state*, where several believer families had been persecuted and expelled from their villages because of their faith in Jesus Christ. *There was a divine intervention in the lives of some persecutors who had demanded that the believers be beaten more severely during the incident-they themselves came to the house of the Pastor seeking prayers, as they were deeply disturbed in spirit. They testified that they experienced a great relief after the prayer. They confessed with their own mouths that Jesus is Lord, accepting Him as their personal Saviour and also told they will continue coming for the Worship.*. It is truly the mighty hand of God.

We had already seen how the Lord used some senior police officials themselves to take back all the expelled families to their homes after the intervention of Persecution Relief last week.

Thank you, Church, for your valuable prayers. Continue praying that many who have persecuted His children will be touched in these days and come to the very same churches and pastors whom they had beaten or persecuted.
