Another one of our family members is under the cruel hand of persecution and is in need of our prayers and physical help.
Asia Bibi has been condemned by the Pakistinian government for being a Christian and is sentence to death. Pakistan, as you may know, is a country where Islam is their national religion. To be anything other than a Muslim is a crime and punishable by death. Asia has been mocked for her faith and condemned for believing that Jesus, her Christ, is alive. She has not recanted her faith in light of death, and for this we praise Jesus that He is keeping her strong in Him. However, our work and our caring for her is not complete and we are being called, by Jesus, to remember her and what she is going through for the sake of Jesus.
Please, sign this petition in request for her life. Pakistan is leading in total requests being made for her life so let's join in spreading the word through the United States that we might truly exercise our freedom of speech and speak on behalf of our sister in order that her life may be spared.
Only the LORD knows when our days are over on this side of heaven but we seek and pray that this time in Asia's life may be used of His purposes and His glory.
Please be in prayer for:
- Asia, that she will stand strong in the face of trial and that her faith would not waver in these dark times.
- For Asia's enemies, that they would see the Christ that is ALIVE in her and that they would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus!
- For Asia's family, that their faith would not be jeopardy because of their trials, but that they would be strengthened to walk with Jesus all the more and to share His truth with those who do not know Him.
Thank you, family, for lifting up our sister. May the LORD have control in all situations and in this one as well, and may His will be done!
We look forward to seeing His answers...
Praying alongside you all,
Cassie
