Pakistan (MNN) — It has been over two months since a violent attack broke out against Christians in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Dozens of Christian homes were attacked and at least 32 churches burned, their Bibles and possessions stolen and vandalized.
Now, Rev. Jason Woolford, President of Mission Cry says, “They can’t go back to work, they can’t go to school, their stuff is still burned, their churches were still torn down, and the government is not doing anything to help these Christians to get those things back.”

A Mission Cry team recently went to Pakistan to support Christians displaced by the attack.
“We’re going to take 100 of these people who are living in a field and we’re going to feed them for 30 days and we are going to disciple them with the G300, which is in the back of our Mission Cry NASB Bible in Urdu,” says Woolford.
Above all, the displaced Christians had one request – new Bibles.
“I can’t imagine, if I’m living in a field, I’ve lost my house, I have no church, it’s been burnt down, my kids can’t go to school and I’m living in a field, I would be trying to figure out something. And I’d like to think that I would ask for a Bible! But in fact, that’s their first request.”
Mission Cry is giving every believer a Bible to replace the ones vandalized in the attack. You can help!
“I’m asking people to pray. But I’m also asking people to help fund the containers and help fund these projects that we do because it’s the one thing that gives these people hope because everyone is forgetting about them [except for] a few Christians. So pray and also help give to make a difference in the lives of these people.”
