Greetings in the Precious name of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. Brother James, we need your prayers. We thank God that God once again gave us an opportunity to visit the people of Jaranwala, but we cannot express in words the sorrow we felt for the conditions there. There are many people who have not yet returned to their homes because fear is still in their hearts and the houses have been completely burnt down. They are not fit to live in because those houses will collapse and fall at any time.
Also, a very terrible incident happened yesterday. A pastor was going from his house for work. He was crying on the way and was told that, "If you leave Christianity, then we will leave you alone. If you don't leave Christianity, then we will shoot you." When he refused, they shot him and he was admitted to the hospital and having a life-and-death struggle. We need your prayers for all Christian people living in Pakistan.
And in the situation that our Christian brothers and sisters are facing right now, God gave us the opportunity to find, and go to, many people who are hiding in remote areas and to give them food bags that the Lord provided. And along with that, God gave us medicine, bottles of pure water, and many other things that we delivered to those people in the form of a packet.
I request you all to remember these persecuted brothers and sisters in your prayers and help them as much as you can so that they can reach their homes. Also pray that the Lord would grant them his courage and peace, to break the hold that the idol of fear has on them. We are praying for shelter, food and clean water for these people, because these things are very much needed at this time.
God bless you!
