A local evangelist writes: “There are so many difficulties nowadays and circumstances of our nation are being even worse. Some Mullas (Islamic priests) filed a case in the High Court against the Bible that it should be banned because there is blasphemy in it against the prophets since it talks about the sins of the prophet while prophets are innocent, etc. The rights of the Christians as nationals are being violated badly. Mullahs are making it too hard, asserting that Christians should follow their religion, Islam.”
 
“There is hate against Christians more than before. More people are being violated by the blasphemy law [often used to target people with false accusations they have spoken disparagingly of Mohammed]. There are a lot of seekers of the truth, but it has become very difficult to recognize who is genuine and who is not. Everywhere is corruption even religiously and physically. There are so many problems but we are busy in equipping believers and sharing the gospel with lost in spite of these difficulties.”
 
Continue to pray for the very strategic nation of Pakistan that Christ’s people will be strong and courageous in fulfilling their mission in their volatile and dangerous context.
