My comment: Pray without ceasing for our Brother’s & Sister’s in Pakistan and the world. There is great tribulation and persecution, and there is silence by the west. John 16:2 ‘They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.’

(Christian Post) The Archbishop of Karachi and the head of the Council of Pakistani Bishops revealed that Christians in the country are under constant pressure to convert to Islam, most notably in schools.

In the wake of the deadliest church bombing in the country, Bishop Joseph Coats sent a note to an Italian association named Aid to Churches in Need, stating that Pakistan “is one of the most difficult countries to live in for Christians.”

“The daily lives of religious minorities in Pakistan are characterized by poverty, injustice and discrimination. Non-Muslims are identified as second-class citizens in school textbooks. Teachers repeatedly ask students to write essays titled: write a letter to your friend encouraging him to convert to Islam,” according to the Italian AKI agency.

81 Christians who were attending worship service were killed and 150 others were wounded after two Taliban suicide bombers stormed the building in northwest Pakistan.
