The motive for the attack is unknown.
The incident follows less than a month after 47-year-old pastor Nammye Hkun Jaw Li was shot dead by gunmen on 18 March at his computer shop in Mogaung township, also in Kachin State.
How you can pray
Pray for a swift and complete recovery for Paul Khwi Shane Aung. Ask the Lord to comfort his congregation amid the trauma of witnessing this attack on their shepherd. Pray that the perpetrators of such assaults against Christian leaders will come under Divine conviction and be brought to justice.
