This is from a
Pakistani brother who is issuing an urgent plea to pray
for the Christians in
Pakistan. This could be a blood bath for them. I
have removed his
name and address as requested.>
Blessings,

Please, please, please would you pray
and fast for the salvation of our
country Pakistan. There are violent
riots almost everywhere, with angry
mobs burning and stoning cars, buses and
buildings. Many have been
killed. They are burning the American flag, and
pictures of both the
Pakistani and American Presidents. The crowds are
furious at the
Pakistani President for supporting the US in the Afghan
crisis.
Pakistanis seem to see this as hostility of Christians towards
their
Muslim Afghan brethren. This is especially infuriating for them
since
Afghanistan is Pakistan's neighbor. Please pray for God's blessings
on
and protection of the President of Pakistan. He is good for
the
non-Muslim minorities, due to his moderate stand on
religion.
About 98 per cent of the people of Pakistan are Muslim. The
Islamic law
is supreme in the land. Please pray for the reversal of the
Blasphemy
Law in Pakistan whereby a non-Muslim can be sentenced to death
for
blaspheming the Muslim God Allah. Many Muslims have abused
the
"Blasphemy Law" for their personal selfish gains, often falsely
charging
non-Muslim neighbors or acquaintances for monetary extortion.
Many
Christians, falsely charged under the Blasphemy Law, have been
in
Pakistani jails without trial for years, awaiting trial.
In jail,
these Christian friends have to endure untold human degradation
and
persecution. Pray for their vindication, exaltation, and the
reversal
of all charges against them.
Please pray for God's blessings
on the Christian workers and our
families. Pray for Christian workers for our
safety, strength, health
and fitness, quality medical care, rest and
restoration, and quality and
affordable education for our children. Many, if
not most, Christians
live lives as "untouchables." Most of the street
janitors or public
bathroom cleaners are Christians. This continues on
generation after
generation, perpetuating their poverty and the curse.
They cannot, of
course, afford to have good education. Disease and
malnutrition is
rampant among Christians.
Please pray for the
salvation of my own parents and family. My parents
are very old, and need
Jesus Christ. Please ask God to send Life-filled
Christian friends to
my parents to be their companions and ministers.
Please ask God to lead
more intercessors, administrators, and seasoned
missionaries to join our
Ministry for life-long ministry to our
unreached Parsee people. The
oppression is heavy. We desperately need
God to give us more intercessors and
workers for the harvest. We need
more missionaries and
intercessors.
Brothers and Sisters, please help us bear our burden.
Please, please,
please fast and pray for the salvation of our Pakistan.
Please share
our urgent prayer appeal with your churches - AFTER
REMOVING OUR
NAMES FROM THE EMAIL. Thank
you.
Jesus Christ is God Almighty, and my only Lord.
