India Pastors PTG

Please pray for their families.

May 14, 2026—an attack leaves 3 pastors dead and several others seriously injured. Rev. Vumthang Sitlhou had been striving for peace between the tribal groups in the state. His late father was instrumental in bringing the gospel to the tribal group and laboured to translate hymns and the Bible into the local dialect.

Manipur, North-east India, has faced persecution for a number of years. In 2023, around 200-400 churches were burnt, 7000 homes completely destroyed, leavings tens of thousands displaced. Please pray for the Christians in Manipur🙏.

Heather M. - Dad PTG and Moving

Grief seems to hit differently in the morning.

It’s in that moment when you wake up and reality settles in again, that someone you love is no longer here, and you won’t see them again this side of heaven.

On Friday, my dad, Ron, passed away. He lived in Southern California, and although our relationship wasn’t especially close, losing a parent is still deeply hard. There’s something about that loss that settles into your heart in a way that’s hard to explain.

At the same time, we are under Farewell Orders and preparing to move at the end of June. As officers, this is a familiar kind of grief, leaving behind close friends, a congregation we love, a home, a community we’ve poured our hearts into, and for our kids, their schools and friendships. It’s never easy. It’s never light.

And right now… it just feels like a lot.

God must know that I am stronger than I feel in this moment, because His Word promises He won’t give us more than we can bear. I know His truth is deep in my heart. I know He is with me. I know He is near to the brokenhearted.

But even knowing all of that… this is still really hard.

If you think of our family, we would appreciate your prayers in this season. 💛

Pray for Iran

Iranian Christians are sharing the gospel… in the middle of war.

As conflict intensifies, ministry leaders report that believers inside Iran are using this moment to reach people who are suddenly asking deeper questions about life, death, and God.

According to the report, fear and uncertainty have made many more open to spiritual conversations—especially as families face loss, instability, and the reality of how quickly life can change.

But this isn’t happening in a safe environment.

In Iran, converting to Christianity—especially from Islam—can lead to arrest, interrogation, and imprisonment. House churches are often monitored, and believers regularly face pressure from authorities.

And still, they’re sharing.

Some are caring for neighbors affected by the conflict. Others are quietly having conversations about Jesus with people who are searching for hope in the middle of chaos.

Leaders say this isn’t new—but moments like this accelerate it.

Crisis has a way of stripping everything else away.

And when it does, people start asking the questions that really matter.

Who is God?

What happens after this?

Is there any hope?

For many in Iran right now, those questions are leading them to the gospel.

Not because it’s safe…

but because they believe it’s true.
