Belarus in the balances. Let's help New Life Church!
In Belarus, the dictatorial government of president Lukashenko is trying to destroy New Life Church, a 1000 member strong church. They purchased their own land and built their own building. Now the government wants to confiscate that building and the church out of it. The church has decided not to give up.
Over 100 people are on a fast-hunger strike. Some 35 of them are refusing to leave the building. They actually live there day in and day out. These believers are serious about standing their ground! They have been fasting now for 20 full days and still there is no response from the authorities. The church demands the ruling of the City Council to confiscate their property to be cancelled and the church to be left alone.
The situation is being covered on the front pages of their national media. It can soon hit all the major internatinoal outlets and we hope it does.
THE FUTURE OF THE NATION IS AT STAKE
Yesterday I was on the phone with senior pastor of the New Life Church Slava Goncharenko. He is a third generation believer and a very solid leader. He told me: "Thank you for getting interested in standing with us. Believers from all over the world are responding. We believe this is not only about our church, our land or our building. We believe the future of the nation is at stake here."
Pastor Goncharenko invited me to visit them and I'm planning on doing so in the next 2 weeks.
Our ministry has decided to come alongside of these breakthrough believers and help any way we can.
We will be updating you on this development and will be giving you more practical details on how you can become part of the strategy to help New Life Church bring breakthrough to their nation!
Expect more updates as we continue to investigate this situation and mobilize support for these people of reformation in Belarus.

Father God, we ask that this church may be able to keep the building. Work this situation out in their favor. We stand in agreement with them to be allowed by their government to keep this building for meeting with their church. Cover this siutation and these people by Your blood. Protect these church members as they continue to stand. In Jesus Name, amen.
