There has been a prayer request for him and the others in these same situations. So I thought I would post this so we can all join in with the saints around the world for the ones who are on the front lines for Jesus. Amen be Glorified Lord.
Missionary Attacked on The Way to Church
November 17, 2010
Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Jethu Monin was attacked by anti-Christian extremists while he was walking to church on Sunday. They badly injured Jethu, and he is now recovering.
Jethu serves in an area dominated by people who worship the gods and goddesses of their traditional religions. Many of the devotees of these religions are fearful as they see the once-faithful choose to give their hearts to Christ.
The attackers left Jethu badly beaten, and they had one message for him:
"You should not conduct Christian prayer meetings in this area," the attackers told him.
They also demanded that he leave or face more extreme consequences.
This was not the first time that the 25-year-old missionary had faced persecution. When he and his family chose to follow Christ, their own village expelled them.
But Jethu has compassion for the men who beat him. He understands their point of view because he used to be one of them. Jethu and his family were staunch believers and followers of this same traditional religion. Then Jethu heard about the love of Jesus from a Bible college student. By this time, he had already grown discouraged because of many problems in his life, which his gods and goddesses didn't seem to care about.
