5 Ways to Pray for our brethren in Christ in Pakistan

Pakistan is a terrorist-like hellhole. The country was designed to run for and by Muslims in 1947. And considering that Islam teaches it’s adherents to VIOLENTLY subjugate non-Muslims (Sura 9:29), it should come as no surprise whatsoever that our brethren in Christ are ROUTINELY and VIOLENTLY persecuted there. One of the things that Pakistan is most NOTORIOUS for (aside from committing honor killings and being the place where terrorist groups like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda run rampant), are it’s blasphemy laws. See the point of the blasphemy laws was to keep ANY religion from getting insulted. Given that Pakistan is a Muslim country, the only faith is not to be insulted is Islam and what’s worse is that the blasphemy laws are used as a pretext to persecute Christians. The most famous example of this would Asia Bibi. She was incarcerated in 2009 for ALLEGEDLY blaspheming Muhammad. Fortunately, she was released in October of 2018, but I doubt the laws were abolished then.

Here are 5 ways to pray for our Pakistani brethren in Christ:

1. Because Pakistan is a country where terrorist groups find haven, pray that God move the Pakistani government to pass laws that will protect our brethren in Christ and other religious minorities.

2. Given that brethren in Christ leaving Islam for the Lord are seen as shaming the community. Pray that they will be given peace that transcends all comprehension.


3. Pray that God puts a hedge of protection around our sisters in Christ, since they are often the targets of rape and forced marriages. The next step is forced conversion.

4. Pray that our brethren in Christ who are accused of blasphemy laws will not be the victims of mob violence and stay strong during this hellish sort of trial.

5. Pray for the persecutors of our brethren in Christ. Pray that they turn to Christ and become on fire for Christ like Paul did when he saw the beauty of the cross.

May God give our Pakistani brethren in Christ strength to weather the trials they are going through and to be bold for the King in sharing the gospel and advancing Kingdom of Heaven in general.
