Pakistan prayer appeal
We are asking for your prayers for Pakistan at this difficult time. As you are probably aware the country is going through a significant amount of turmoil stemming from terrorism, particularly on the Afghan – Pakistani border. The Pakistani army recently opened an offensive aimed at crushing Taliban militants in the frontier region of South Waziristan, a stronghold for terrorists and a region described by the CIA as “the most dangerous place on earth”.
In addition to this offensive there have been a number of terrorist attacks across Pakistan both before the military offensive and also since it began. Suicide bombs have struck Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Peshawar and terrorists have mounted attacks in other places as well.
Clearly Pakistan is going through a seriously traumatic and bloody period in its history and we feel it is important to support it through prayer. Please pray particularly for:
- Pakistani Christians who may feel under increased threat as a result of the offensive.
- Interserve Partners working in Pakistan
- For the terrorists themselves, that God would meet with them as he met with Saul.
Above all, please pray for peace and stability in Pakistan and that God’s hand would guide the country through these dark and difficult times.
