More than
50 Taliban militants are reportedly dead as Pakistan’s
major anti-insurgency operation continues. In the face
of these events, Pakistani Christians are asking the
world to pray for their nation.
“We know of more than 300 pastors in Pakistan who have
joined together to mark Sunday, July 26, as a day of
prayer for their country—a day of prayer particularly
for the church there which is facing intense
persecution,” said Todd Nettleton of Voice of the
Martyrs (VOM). While many Christians have left the
Taliban-ceded areas, the church in Pakistan continues to
grow. “There are still some solid believers who are
committed to reaching Muslims for Christ,” Nettleton
explained. “They have said, ‘There are still some
Muslims here who still need to hear the gospel, who need
to hear about Jesus’ love, so we’re going stay, and
we’re going to keep ministering.’” VOM is also providing
humanitarian aid and helping evangelists.
