On average, one Christian is murdered and one arrested (mostly on blasphemy charges) every month. Kidnapping and physical harassment occur even more frequently and attacks on the property of Christians and churches occur almost every week. Discrimination affects virtually every aspect of daily life such as education, health, livelihood and housing. Opening a new church building is almost impossible.

Pray

  • For God's blessing on believers attending literacy programmes enabling them to read the Bible and gain vital livelihood skills
  • That pastors caring for their flock in very difficult circumstances will have wisdom, skill and strength
  • For believers experiencing death threats and harassment, and for Shahbaz Bhatti, the first Christian Federal Minister for Minorities.
