 Pakistan: Pregnant Christian Stripped and Beaten Unconscious Release International Prayer Alert "Release partners are caring for a pregnant Christian from Lahore who was reportedly beaten unconscious for refusing to deny Christ. "The 26-year-old mother of four from Rana Town was attacked, apparently after resisting a Muslim woman’s attempts to make her convert to Islam..." Please pray that God will comfort this young mother and her family. Thank God that he ‘heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds’ (Psalm 147:3). Pray that those responsible for this attack would be brought to justice.
Pray that God will protect Release partners as they take a stand against religious intolerance and support persecuted Christians. Please also pray for the nation of Pakistan as it comes to terms with the attack on the school in Peshawar this week, and especially for all those directly affected by the killings. Pray for an end to religiously and politically motivated violence in Pakistan and for increased tolerance across communities.

VOM workers report that several churches were also raided, and some Christians at the churches are believed to have been seriously injured or killed. VOM workers request prayer for believers throughout Yobe state as well as in Borno and Adamawa states, where Christians face daily attacks."
