π·πΊππ Russia: Homes of Jehovah's Witnesses Searched Again in Seversk
A Remembrance β July 10, 2026
On the morning of July 7, 2026, law enforcement officers carried out another series of searches at the homes of at least seven families of Jehovah's Witnesses in Seversk, Tomsk Region, Russia. This marked the second wave of searches within the previous three weeks.
Among those affected were Andrey Ledyaykin and Andrey Kolesnichenko, both of whom had previously received suspended prison sentences because of their Christian faith.
Following the searches, the believers were taken in for questioning before later being released.
Although these faithful Christians continue to face pressure because of their beliefs, they remain determined to worship Jehovah peacefully and stay loyal to Him.
π "Happy are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them." β Matthew 5:10
Let us continue to remember our dear brothers and sisters in Russia in our prayers, asking Jehovah to strengthen them, comfort their families, and help them remain courageous and faithful under trial.
We also look forward to the day when God's Kingdom will bring an end to all persecution, injustice, and suffering, fulfilling His promise of lasting peace for all who love Him.
π Please keep our brothers and sisters in Russia in your prayers.
