Suffering Christians

Recent events in Pakistan, which included a suicide attack on Easter Day on a fairground used by Christians, in which 70 people were killed, is a cause of grave concern for Pakistani Christians who live in West Yorkshire. We have received the following report from Saleem and Joyce D:

We had a Good Friday prayer meeting, and it was celebrated in an Asian way. We had lots of praying and bible reading. The prayer meeting was blessed with the Holy Spirit.

We also had Holy Communion and finally, we also prayed for the world's peace and especially for Brussels and UK.

Two days later, we heard of the unfortunate incident in Lahore, Pakistan. There was a bomb blast in the park where lots of people died and around 300 were injured. Both Muslims and Christians were killed and injured in this incident.

Please continue praying for Pakistan.

Thanks

God bless
