Emergency Prayer request for our church

Dear Friends and Family,

I have a very serious prayer request and want to share this with you.
Our church is going through a problem at present, we are worshipping the Lord in a rented building and the landlord wants us to vacate the place immediately even though we have 2 more year’s rental agreement. It is really tough since finding a place of worship in this non-Christian dominated land is very hard.
Now for some background: This is the only Pentecostal church in the Brahmin area and pioneered by my dad in 1991 with just a hand full of people and now it has grown to 250 plus baptized believers by grace. From the initial stage we had to go through a series of maltreatment, harassment from the people around us, we were dragged to the Police station those days and used to see witchcraft magic spells at our doors each morning. Even the Catholic Church in the area once declared us as an antichrist church.
Praise God! God protected us from harm and we are experiencing the awesome move of the Holy Spirit each day and thank God for establishing his church through signs and wonders. Almost 88% of our believers are purely from non-Christian background of which some were witch doctors, Astrologers, Hindu priests, untouchables, mentally discarded people….
It pains when we think we are going to have no place of worship in a few days. We as a church are united in fasting and prayers and are waiting upon the Lord.
Please bring this situation to your church family and unite with us in prayer that God will overrule what appears to be an impossible situation.

Binu,

I personally know what it feels like to be treated differently... at times of my childhood being Jewish in a prodominantly non-jewish area (with the christians in that particuclar area hating anyone that was non-christian). Fortunately, it was short lived and I found out that most christians are not that way.

I will pray that your church finds a new place where you (and your members) will not be harassed.

Lord, please watch over the binu's church and its members who turn to you for guidence. Amen!

Dear Lord, we pray for the power of God to manifest in this dark place. Exalt Your name, because You are God. Give these worshippers a place to be - maybe this landlord is getting threats? (just a thought) If this is the case, Lord I pray that the Landlord will stand up for what's right and join the worshippers and be a testimony to the power of God! Amen!
