In last month’s newsletter we talked about the plans of the Rockland, and Bryte churches to host a Christian conference for pastors of the Muslim countries in the Middle East. The conference was anticipated to happen at the Tyre Church led by the Pastor Muhammed who is well-known to a few of our churches. It was anticipated that Pastor Muhammed will soon come to Sacramento, and then the final decision will be made about the conference.
On May 19, the news came that Pastor Muhammed was found dead in his car. There is an ongoing investigation, but there is suspicion that he may have been murdered. Earlier, in a conversation with the pastor of Rockland Church, N.A. Bugriyev, he mentioned that he has problems and that he is experiencing great pressures from outside.
Please pray for his family, the church, and all of the believers of the surrounding cities where he was serving, and for all the poor that he was feeding daily from his table. They will experience truly difficult times in the coming days.
The recording of the memorial service of Pastor Muhammed can be viewed here.
