Amelia serves in West Africa, sharing the gospel with those in a region that is very opposed to the message of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for the church in the South. One of the leaders, Sidi, and two younger (non-believing) men from his household have been in prison for a couple of months. They were arrested after a man who came to attack them died after being chased away. There are conflicting accounts as to what happened and how he died, but Sidi (despite not being involved in the pursuit) and these two men were both arrested. Sidi has now been released due to ill health, but the two young men arrested with him are still in prison, and the court case is still pending. So please continue to pray, asking God to use the months that have passed to cool emotions in the community, and so create space for justice to be done. Pray too for the two young men still in prison, ask that God would use the hardships of this time to open their hearts to him. Ask the Lord to comfort and strengthen the wider community of believers who are continuing to endure threats and persecution, and that local leaders may stand with them against violence and threats.
