Story number 3 for 8 Apr 2003

(Sri Lanka) Harassment from local Buddhists is increasing in rural Sri Lanka. According to Voice of the Martyrs , the Apostolic Church in a Buddhist stronghold was set on fire recently and was completely destroyed. The fire was preceded by a rally against the church a few weeks ago by local Buddhists demanding the church be closed. The area attracts Buddhists from around the world. Pray for wisdom, protection and boldness as this group of believers continue sharing the Gospel.
