Note: Pakistan has nukes and lots of radicals that would like to use them on other nations. As you pray for Pakistan, you are also praying for the security of your nation and the rest of the world!

“But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice inyou.”    Psa 5:11    

ELECTIONS

Elections are supposed to be held July 25.  There seems to be no one on the horizon whowould work for the common person; there is such a problem with corruption.  Would it be best for a military person to step in? Pakistan’s best leaders in the past who have helped the country often have been military leaders. Party after party is bringing court cases against each other to try and disqualify one another.  This is leaving the door open for very fanatical groups who are running for the first time and without court cases against them. 

PRAY for the right group to come into power.  The wrong group could make trouble forthe nation as well as the world.

PERSECUTION

In 2003 Pakistan was considered #79 in the persecution list.  Today it is #4.   Minorities are being targeted more and more with Christians in particular because of Al Khaidas great hatred for the infidels. Articles like the following are seen again and again even in the papers, but usually they are not reported because it gives Pakistan a bad name in the world scene. 

See the following article: Pakistan: Christians told they can’t have a church in Muslim-majority village

https://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/2018/06/pakistan-christians-told-they-cant-have-a-church-in-muslim-majority-village/ 

This is getting to be a very common thing across the country.  Christians in this area have been burned out several times. It is right next door to one of the most fanatical terrorist groups.

PRAY that Christians learn to stand strong and let God protect them. 

1).  Several years back a Christian colony with 350 homes in a large city in Pakistan had most of 300 homes burned down by fanatics simply because they were Christian. Then they came to the outside door of a man who had been working to plant prayer groups. When asked him what happened to his home.  He said, “I did exactly what we were told to do in the prayer seminars.  Know that you cannot stop them, but God gives you the authority and power to stop such people.  I stood in my courtyard on the opposite side of the door and began to pray and then called out ‘In the name of Jesus and in the power of His blood, leave.’”  He said there was deathly silence and he didn’t know what was going to happen. And then they turned around and left.  His home and those homes of one of our prayergroups were left untouched.

2). This is a testimony from a brother from the tribal areas.  He recalled, “During a very troubled time the governor and the head of police with about 15 other people came to the prayer leaders home. They were served tea and asked how they were doing. Then they were asked why they had come. They said they had come to take the prayer leader to a safer place to stay because of all the trouble in the city.”  The prayer leader began to tell them five or six very dangerous stories of God´s protection. He said, ‘I believe our Jesus will protect us again and we would like to stay right here.’ They discussed this among themselves and then replied, ‘We know your Jesus protects you, you may stay here.’” 

PRAY Christians may learn to trust God for their protection.

TRANSLATION OF THE MOVIE, “PAUL APOSTLE OF CHRIST”

Pray that the producers would consider producing this in the languages of Urdu and Hindi (spoken by more than a billion people).  This is right in the center of the world where persecution is at its height and where this movie is probably most needed to encourage God’s people.

Pray that Sony, who underwrote the project, would give clearance for such a project.
