Heavenly Father,
I pray for the protection of Christians in Pakistan, who are under persecution for their belief in your son Jesus. I plead the blood of the cross over their lives, their property, their businesses, their families. May You use this situation to bring many to repentance and salvation; May Your great and holy name be glorified all over the earth. I ask for Your Holy hand of mercy over these people. Please give them strength, endurance, and an extra measure of faith. Lord, let there be peace on earth, goodwill toward men.
It is in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Paramilitary troops patrolled the streets of a town in eastern Pakistan yesterday after Muslim radicals burned to death eight members of a Christian family, raising fears of violence spreading to other areas.
Hundreds of armed supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Islamic militant group, burned dozens of Christian homes in Gojra over the weekend after allegations that a copy of the Koran had been defiled.
The mob opened fire indiscriminately, threw gas bombs and looted houses as thousands of frightened Christians ran for safety. “They were shouting anti-Christian slogans and attacked our houses,” Rafiq Masih, a resident of the predominantly Christian colony, said. Residents said that police stood aside while the mob went on the rampage. “We kept begging for protection, but police did not take action,” Masih said.
