Pray
We prayed for Pakistan back in March, but because of recent world events, we are asking you to pray for Pakistan again:
-As you continue to hear about Osama bin Laden’s death, pray boldly for the people in the country where he was found. Believe that Jesus has compassion on sheep without a shepherd, and ask that those who used to follow Osama would learn to follow Christ.
-Praise God for leaders of the Christian faith in Pakistan. Ask that they would be full of God’s grace and power amidst persecution. Ask God to sustain and protect foreigners living in Pakistan as security becomes a greater risk.
-Praise God that though many may die through the trespass of one man, many more will be saved through the victory of our Savior!
