persecuted Christians - Bangladesh - fears for family after death threats

[Wylandadh]

Our team in Bangladesh is asking for urgent prayer for Shajahan, a believer from western Bangladesh, who is in danger of being excommunicated from his village.
Shajahan left Islam to follow Jesus 10 years ago. Since then, he's received ongoing death threats and pressure to reject Christianity and return to his Muslim faith. Most of the pressure comes from his neighbours and relatives, who also threaten him for leading his wife, children and grandchildren to Christ.
Recently, the persecution intensified when leaders from the local mosque asked Shajahan to contribute money, but he refused.
"I cannot partake and contribute money for the purpose of Muslim religious activity," Shajahan told them.
The muslim leaders mocked Shajahan and ridiculed him, but he remained silent. This silence made them even more angry. In response, the leaders officially shunned Shajahan from the village.
In Shajahan's region, being shunned is a disgraceful and painful public punishment.
This means Shajahan can't go to the fields to work or go to the market to buy and sell goods. He's not even allowed to visit anyone in the village - and noone in the village is permitted to see him.
As you can imagine its an agonising experience.
Then on Wednesday, May 26, a group of muslims went to Shajahan home and tried to force him to renounce his faith in Jesus Christ and return to Islam. They told him that if he refused, they would completely excommunicate him
"They said they would do anything and everything to stop me from practising my faith and make it impossible for me and my family to live in the village," Shajahan told our partners. "They said my family would not survive him, and we'll have no choice but to flee from our home and our property."
"I'm afraid of what they might do to my family," Shajahan adds.

The shunning and the isolation has taken it's toll on the whole family - and your prayers are needed.

Pray for the physical safety of Shajahan's family. Ask God to stand with them and give them the words to say and actions to take that demonstrate Christ in their hearts.

Pray the family will stand strong during this persecution and the ongoing pressure from their neighbours and relatives.

Ask God to soften the hearts of the persecutors and allow Shajahan and his family to live in peace within their village. Also, please ask God to provide more freedom for Christians across Bangladesh.

Prayer from a text alert from Open Doors USA. Thanks so much for praying God bless.

Praying with and for you in Jesus.

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.

I am praying about this, in Jesus' name, amen.

FYI, Compassion International serves in various parts of Bangladesh. They have schools + churches. I pray God makes a way for Shajahan to find this or another group of Christians who will help him. He might have to leave everything behind + flee to safety. I pray he + his family can escape either the persecution or the village itself, + go to a safe area so they will not be persecuted further.

Show me what to do, what not to do, where to go, where not to go, and what to take to stay safe and protected from all Covid variants.
