Progress in Pakistan

Unfortunately (as per usual) I have left my laptop at someone elses house and therefore am unable to finish the Malawi blog. However the "punchline" of the visit is still to come so there will be more coming!

In the meantime we have exciting news from Pakistan..... our friend who we met at an immigration centre has been back in Pakistan for three years. He has ministries to four local prisons, an adult education centre and visits and supports Christian communities that have received persecution.

He translated the Foundation Stone Bible class into Urdu and we did a sponsored climb in England to raise funds for the printing. Here is Yaqoob and his wife, Surriya, with the finished product.....isn't it great ? And he will be distributing these freely in the prisons in the Lahore area.

There is a great deal of upheaval in Pakistan right now as terrorists are making all sorts of ground and really threatening the peace and stability there. I feel it means all the more that we should be providing the Pakistani Christians with as much Christian equipment as we can to prepare them for the times ahead.
