Violence Increasing Against Christians

[4] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Pakistani Christians.

Front-line workers in Pakistan report that the level of brutality against Christians in the country has been increasing in recent months. “In my 65 years, I have never seen these kinds of things in Pakistan,” said one worker. On March 24, 2025, a Muslim in the Punjab province attacked a Christian coworker with a paper cutter, slashing his throat. The Christian barely survived and is currently unable to speak. On March 27, 2025, a Christian couple was stopped in the Faisalabad district and robbed at gunpoint by two masked men. When the men learned the couple were Christians, they tied up the husband and sexually assaulted his wife. Local police have arrested the attackers in both incidents. Pakistani Christians request prayer for the survivors’ recovery, for justice to be done and for courage to stand firm in their faith amid intense persecution.

  • Beloved Father: Please heal our brethren who have been savaged by Islamists. Heal the voice of the brother. Heal the woman who was raped. May the attackers be punished according to Your Justice, but may they encounter Christ in prison & turn to Him. Protect the churches of Pakistan from violence. Deliver the flock from evil. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
