RESISTANCE TO GROWTH AND EXPANSION

• THE DIFFICULTY TO FIND PLACES TO GATHER.

• THE RESISTANCE TO HOME CHURCHES ALSO.

• THE RESISTANCE FROM NEIGHBOURS OF CHURCHES TO CONDUCTING SERVICES.

• THE STRUGGLE TO GET PERMISSIONS FROM AUTHORITIES.

• THE CHALLENGE OF FUNDING EMERGING CHURCHES WITH FEW BELIEVERS.

• THE SCRUTINY ON RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH

• THE GROWING ANTI-CHRISTIAN NARRATIVE THAT CREATES FEAR TO START NEW CHURCHES.

HINDRANCES TO PROCLAMATION

• RULES OF FREE SPEECH AND DECLARATION OF ONE’S FAITH BE PROTECTED.

• ATTACKS ON CAROL ROUNDS IN CHRISTIAN HOMES IN NORTH.

• ANTI CONVERSION LAWS …. BEING MADE STIFFER, NEW STATES BEING ADDED.

• MANY PLACES WHERE CHRISTMAS GATHERING HAPPENED ...NOW CHURCHES SHUT.

• FOR PERMISSION BEING DENIED TO BURY THE DEAD…AND HARASSES

• THAT THE EYES OF JUSTICE WILL SEE THESE THINGS AS SERIOUS.

  
  

THE WORK LEFT BEHIND

• CONGREGATION NOT TO BE SCATTERED IN PERSECUTION AND ARRESTS.

• FOR THOSE IN HIDING.

• TO OVERCOME FEAR AND PROFESS FAITH COME WHAT MAY.

• NOURISHING OF THE CHURCH TO CONTINUE AS LEADERS GET ARRESTED.

FUTURE OF THE CONGREGATION

• NEED FOR A NEW LEADER.

• BACKSLIDDEN BELIEVERS TO RETURN.

• PRAY FOR THE DELIBERATE DELAYS, KEEPING PEOPLE IN JAIL WITHOUT TRIAL WILL END.
