Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We come to you with heavy hearts and a desperate plea. Pakistan is currently enduring a severe and ongoing crisis caused by devastating floods, triggered by unusually heavy pre-monsoon rains since June 2025. These floods have wreaked havoc across various parts of the country—especially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and Azad Kashmir—leading to widespread destruction, tragic loss of life, displacement of families, and the collapse of critical infrastructure.
Among the worst-hit areas is Punjab, where countless families have lost their homes and livelihoods. In many places, people are left with no choice but to seek refuge on rooftops, surrounded by rising waters. The images and stories coming out of these regions are heartbreaking—people are literally drowning, children are hungry, and entire communities are suffering.
In these dark and difficult times, we humbly ask you to stand with us in prayer. Pray for:
• God’s mercy over the land and His intervention to stop the destruction.
• Comfort and healing for those who have lost loved ones.
• Provision and protection for the displaced and vulnerable, especially children and the elderly.
• Wisdom and strength for relief workers, churches, and volunteers on the ground.
• Unity in the Body of Christ, to respond with compassion, generosity, and action.
We also encourage those who are able to support relief efforts—whether through local churches, international ministries, or trustworthy aid organizations. Every act of kindness, every donation, and every prayer matters.
Let us remember the words of Galatians 6:2:
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
May we rise together in love and faith to bring hope and light to those in despair. We trust that even in the midst of this storm, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
With a broken heart, but unshaken faith,
Pastor Saleem Francis on behalf of the Body of Christ in Pakistan
