Promise to the Nation

We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” (The Bible, Acts 5:32).

Sri Lanka is a South Asian country that recently found itself in economic turmoil. The country’s economy is slowly picking up, and the agricultural reforms that triggered the collapse and subsequent bankruptcy are now implemented in moderation. The country is not listed in the Open Doors Persecution List. However, persecution of Christians is prevalent in the country. Extremist Buddhist and Islamic groups constantly harass the Christian community. This harassment includes the demolition of houses, physical violence, bombings, and burning of church buildings.
