Broken heart in Pakistan
From our partner in Pakistan:
August 18, 2023
Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I just came back to Lahore after three days from the city of Jarawala.
With a Broken Heart, Painful soul and weeping spirit i regret to share with you this tragic incident. In the city of Jarawal Muslim extremist have burnt down more than 26 churches and about 350 houses of Christians. This is the biggest tragic incidence that happened so far in Pakistan, where the muslims of the entire city raised against the churches by accusing falsely two young boys of committing blasphemy against their prophet and Quran.
Early morning on last Wednesday they raised this issue and then they announced in every mosque to come on streets and lets us burn all the churches in and around the cities, So from morning to evening they kept on burning Churches started with Catholic Church in Christian Colony of Jarawala till evening, Government failed to protect us , They attacked all the Christian homes, and their churches in them.
First they looted every things from Church ( Sound systems, Generators, Air Conditions, every expensive thing, Offering boxes, Vaults, Waterpumps etc..) and similarly they done same with homes of Christians , they have stolen every things from their homes and burnt rest of the things which includes bibles, note books, worship instruments of all kinds. cloths, all educational stuff, destroyed entire record books of the churches and families.
They attacked all churches of the city and villages simultaneously , It as well organized and pre planned attack. They blocked all the streets so that fire fighter would not reach in time, even they cut main water supply of the city.
People flee in field to save their lives, They have also abducted and rapped many Christain girls.
Its been three nights and people are sleeping under the sky in the fields. I had three churches in my direct connection who's pastors are my friends as I have been holding meetings through them and working in collaboration with them. Their churches have been completely destroyed .
It has taken years to build such churches, and also for christian people to build homes but they destroyed in seconds.
We are really in great pain. No churches, not bibles , no instruments.
We are still trying to figure out the total loss, i believe which will be in billions of rupees,
so we are praying with tears for our brothers and sisters and have been now feeding them with our resources. we want to request you to please stand with in feeding our people and also if we can stand at least with two churches in rehabilitation and restoration of the building.
