Good News from Pakistan!

Improved political situation:
News which has just reached us from Pakistan is very positive. I am reliably informed that the political situation in Lahore and surrounding areas has markedly improved recently making it a much safer place for, in particular Christians to live.

Recent attacks on Christians have left many dead or injured or homeless. The cry from Pakistan remains however 'Can you help us'? The circumstances for Christians in general, though relieved by the reduction in violence, remains poor. There is a great need for practical support in terms of daily necessities in the short term and in the longer terms income generating and education projects.

Christians remain poor due to their position in society, children beg, women can only do menial jobs and men are disrespected as a result of their faith in Christ.

In order to help in this situation Mission International is raising funds to begin projects in support of those who are worst affected by this situation.

Please help!
