A Christian in Burma is facing jail time for cutting down trees to create space for an “illegal” cross. The trees were harvested from the land of a fellow Christian who used the wood to build the cross and erected it on his property in the space created from the felled trees. Burmese officials arrested the man for cutting down the trees without government permission; however, it is believed the true purpose behind the arrest was to remove the cross, a symbol of the Christian faith that is routinely discriminated against and persecuted by the Burmese government. Please pray for our brother’s quick release.
