Brother Bill,
Was very nice to chat with you on FaceBook. Please post this request of Pakistan
from me on your Website.
Dear Brothers and Sisters ...
Please do special prayers
for the violence in Gojra village, Pakistan.
Muslims have burned a 100 Christians homes. Muslims blamed
on Christians that they have burned their holy book Quran; in the result they burnt their homes, and firing on
their homes. Seven people of one family have been burnt alive.
The Muslims were thousands in numbers
who wanted to kill the Christians. But the Christians are very few, and worried; and they informed the police.
The police fired and stopped the Muslims, but they crossed police and burned the 100 homes.
When police did inquiry
they found that there was not any truth to the burning of the holy book Quran, this is a big lie.
The fact is this.
For 3 months the Muslims were giving threats to these Christians ... that if they will not give up their graveyard to the
Muslims they will destroy them from the earth. The Muslims wanted to capture their graveyard. Christians
tried to file their case against this matter and these Muslims many times, but the government and police did not give attention
to this matter and case. For 3 days they were burning the homes, but the police and the government did not take
any action against it. But when the 7 people were burnt alive on August 1rst ... they told on the news.
Our
people in Gojra are not only in need of our prayer support, but also they are needy, and in need of our financial support
while they are fighting with the hunger, having no sleep on their bed at their homes. They are passing their nights
on the footpaths on the ground under the sky because they have no home. Their homes have been burnt. They only
have their body clothes. All of their living system is damaged.
Our, and all Christians of the Pakistan,
are crying for this incident in Gojra. Please pray, and share this request to others. They need not only
prayer support, but they also need financial support.
