Today we are praying for Victims of Violence.

Two stories are highlighted: one from Sri Lanka - where a pastor was shot dead outside his home. His wife was also severely injured by their 18 month-old son escaped unharmed.

The second story comes from China. A pastor was arrested for disseminating Christian literature and detained in prison for two months before his wife was allowed to see him. Christians helped support the wife and four year-old son for 18 months until the pastor was released.
