Story number 2 for 25 Oct 2002

(Sri Lanka)–Next, the Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka reports that a worship center in southern Sri Lanka was burned to the ground, October 13th. According to the report, received by the Voice of the Martyrs, believers in Sri Lanka often face harassment from militant Buddhist groups
in the country. Please pray for the Christians who have suffered persecution and that they will stand firm in the face of opposition. Pray, too for those who persecute the Church in Sri Lanka, that the Gospel would penetrate their hearts.
