Please pray for our national pastor, River, and his family who have been serving with BIEM for 12 years in a Muslim country. Sunday night, police broke into his home and disrupted a gathering of believers. All the Bibles were confiscated. The police demanded to know who the pastor was and declared they would put him in jail for a minimum of 15 days. No one would say who the pastor was. Ever since, an armed guard has been stationed at River's house. River can't leave, nor can anyone come visit. This is like an unofficial house arrest and local authorities may also be using this opportunity to collect more information about the group of believers. River's wife, Hope, is eight months pregnant. Please pray for their safety, especially that the intense pressure will not affect the pregnancy.
