Pakistan (MNN) – Repairs are ongoing after deadly floods swept through Kasur, Pakistan, in August.
Jason Woolford with Mission Cry says there is devastation in this area as thousands of villages were submerged by floodwaters.
The body of Christ is also hurting in Kasur, as Christian girls and women are specifically targeted for sexual abuse.
“Combining both of those things, flooding, loss of food and hope, and the attacks on Christian women there, we wanted to come in and bring hope,” Woolford says. “We did that [by] bringing boatloads of rice, food, and most importantly, the Word of God, the only thing that doesn’t return void.”
Mission Cry is working to feed people physically and spiritually, and people are responding.
“We’re seeing hope and joy, because these people are being forgotten about, especially with their so-called God, when the real God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are showing up in word form and through our Mission Cry team,” Woolford says.
The need in Kasur remains strong. Mission Cry went door to door and provided two weeks of food relief rations, but wants to again.

For those not in this conflict, Woolford says, “We’ve been blessed, but we’ve been blessed to be a blessing as well.”
Please pray for the on-the-ground team and for the believers in this area. Pray for salvation for those who do not yet know the Lord. Pray that the flooding will stop and that Mission CRY’s work will bless the people in this area.
