Pray For Pakistan
Pakistan is a nation that is predominantly Islamic. It has the second largest population of Muslims in the world. Persecution against Christians and other minority religions is extremely high. Beatings, rape, abduction, imprisonment and torture are often used against minor religious people.
The death penalty is highly used against any insults against Mohammed. Anyone who damages the Koran is often put in prison for life.
The few believers that are in the nation struggle with finding a church to be able to be a part of to grow and be fed. Very few bibles have been translated into the languages that the people speak. Getting the gospel message to the people is a challenge, since death is often the cost. Christian radio is illegal in the nation and is often blocked.
Points to pray:
Protection of believers
Strength for the believers
Open doors to spread the gospel message
Eyes to be opened
Bibles to be translated
Leaders for the churches
