Greetings from Pakistan

[Javypk]

Hello everyone,
I am so incredibly glad and blessed to be back on this forum! It has been about 18 or 20 years since I first joined this community, and returning here feels like coming across an old, familiar path. God has been so good through all these years, and I am deeply grateful to find this space still welcoming believers.
Please join me in a short prayer as I reconnect:
"Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unwavering faithfulness over the decades. Thank You for preserving this community as a place of fellowship and encouragement. I pray that You bless every member here, guide our conversations, and let Your love shine through everything we share. Amen."
It is wonderful to be back with you all. God bless you!

In His service,

Pastor Javed Irshad

Pakistan

That's a long absence. Welcome back!

How is life for the Christian minority in Pakistan? I have visited India but never set foot in Pakistan.

Here is a short, authentic summary of what Christians in Pakistan endure:

Daily Reality of Pakistani Christians

• Systemic Discrimination: Many Christians face constant bias, verbal harassment, and unfair treatment in schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
• Economic Bottlenecks: Opportunities for growth are often blocked, pushing many into low-paying, hazardous manual labor or sanitation jobs.
• Constant Fear: The misuse of blasphemy laws and the threat of mob violence mean living with ongoing anxiety for your personal safety.
• Legal Vulnerability: Getting justice or protection from law enforcement is incredibly difficult due to deep institutional bias.

In recent weeks, many incidents have occurred against Christians, and a large number of them go completely unreported. They do not appear on the news at all, especially on Pakistan's local news channels. These incidents are only posted and shared on social media.
If you would like me to share these incidents with you, I am not sure how to share Facebook links or content on this forum. However, if you wish, you can connect with me on Facebook to see the pictures of the most recent incidents that have taken place.

So sad. People here in North America can worship Jesus freely but unfortunately for many it results in them becoming lukewarm.
