Praying for Pakistan

Pakistan and Afghanistan are home to one of the worlds "top 10" unreached people groups, the Pashtun. It has been extremely difficult to bring the Gospel into that Islamic stronghold, but the little by little advance of democracy aided by Prime Minister Bhutto was opening doors. Gospel for Asia has a thoughtful write-up on the impact of Prime Minister Bhutto assassination.

Dr. Yohannan pointed out that the Church, both in Pakistan and in other South Asian nations, is not separated from the larger society.

"This situation affects the kingdom's work," he said, "making life more difficult for everyone.

"But is it my prayer that through this terrible event, the people of Pakistan and India will realize the need for a greater reality. I ask all Christians to join with me in praying for the people of Pakistan, and that God will use this crisis to open the eyes of those who do not know Him."
