NB! The campaign has ended.
Jeewani* lives in a big city in Sri Lanka. She works in a church. The church is attended by 70 people. At the moment they are struggling to hold services. For many years the church has been running smoothly, but recently a disgruntled neighbor has taken drastic action against it. The neighbor has occasionally complained about the noise level in the past, and now he has suddenly reported the church to the police. Fortunately, the church was let off with a warning.
In addition to the dispute with the church's neighbor, Buddhist religious leaders in the area come by and disrupt and stop the services. So the congregation has its work cut out for it. However, there is one bright spot. Some people in the neighborhood have also said that it is a blessing to listen to the church's worship.
Jeewani doesn't experience persecution from her family and friends, but she does experience persecution from the locals. When this happens, she feels that the church community has given her strength in life.
She is convinced that God will go with her and guide her. Jeewani believes that there is a blessing in persecution. To that she says: "Embrace it with joy."
The latest we've heard from Jeewani is that she lost her husband to natural causes.
