Story number 2 for 10 Jun 2002

(Belarus)–We turn next to Belarus, where Voice of the Martyrs says believers are expressing concern over pending legislation. The amendments to the bill, proposed last week, would severely restrict religious activity and possibly ban unregistered churches, triggering fears of persecution. Pray that these amendments will not pass and that the government of Belarus will respect the religious rights of the people. Pray for peace of mind and heart for the Christians, as they watch and wait.
