Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians in Pakistan

For many years members of the Christian community in Pakistan have suffered persecution for their faith.  Over the past year alone, more than 80 churches have been destroyed, numerous Christians have endured death threats and hundreds of women have been kidnapped, raped and forced into prostitution.  Christians have been forced to convert to Islam and many arrested under the blasphemy laws.

The Pakistan Asian Christian Welfare Association, Bradford, is asking churches in the UK to pray for persecuted Christians in Pakistan on  Sunday 5 August 2007. Revd Peter Whittaker, Chair of the West Yorkshire Methodist District, along with church leaders of other denominations, appeals for your prayers.

Please pray especially for:

The churches in Pakistan who provide hope and life to ten million Christians there.  The Pakistani government, judges, magistrates and police - that the law be followed fairly and impartially.  For innocent Christians who have been tortured, persecuted and killed.  For peace, unity and discipline of the people in Pakistan 

Happy Birthday
