There were 10 anti-Christian incidents in Sri Lanka in March, according to Barnabas Fund.
They include a brutal attack on a pastor's home and a church that was burnt to the ground.
In Katuwana, Pastor Pradeep Kumara has faced intense opposition to his ministry. On 18 March, Buddhist extremists launched a violent attack on his home, which was being used for worship meetings.
His wife and children returned home to discover attackers damaging the property. Pastor Kumara was not at home at the time. When the assailants threatened his wife, she called her husband and the police. Although four officers turned up they were unable to bring the mob under control.
Barnabas Fund reports that the attack went on for more than three hours and only stopped when they received promises that no more worship meetings would be held in the house. Full story...
