Dulal said he was thankful that he and his family were not home at the time because he believes the attackers would have killed them. As he tried to rebuild the house, which also serves as a meeting place for the church, he was met with resistance. &ldquo;No one wanted to do the work to rebuild my house because it was told throughout the village that I&rsquo;m a Christian,&rdquo; Dulal said. However, other Christians aided him and rebuilt the house. He was encouraged by the Christian love and unity that showed he was not alone in his time of persecution.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.persecution.com\/globalprayerguide\/bangladesh\/\">Click here<\/a> to find out about Christian persecution in Bangladesh and learn how to pray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2781\/pastor-dulal\/\" target=\"_blank\">Post a prayer for Pastor Dulal on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pastor Dulal had received threats because of his Christian witness in his village.
