Within days of being released from prison (click here to read more), Baptist pastor Vyacheslav Kalataevsky and his wife were summoned by officials for a "conversation." According to a November 21 report from Forum18, Kalataevsky was presented with a pre-written statement to sign saying that he would not meet with other believers. He refused to sign the statement. At the end of the meeting, the imam present promised Kalataevsky an "unpleasant fate" if he continued his religious activities.

Pray for a continued steadfast faith and hope for Kalataevsky and his wife in the midst of opposition they face.
