For several months, The Voice of the Martyrs has been following the plight of the New Life Church in Minsk. According to the church's website (www.newlife.by) the city is again attempting to prevent the church from using a converted cow shed for a church. The city council is intending to insist that the building be used by the church for its original purpose, breeding cattle. However, commercial breeding of animals, however, is forbidden within the city limits of Minsk, thus causing a dilemma for the city council. The church intends to continue fighting for the right to use the building for meeting.
