FOLLOWERS OF JESUS IN PAKISTAN ORPHAN MINISTRY
FOOD FOR ALL
Pakistan always was under political, social, and religious pressure. Before the establishment of Pakistan it was said by our founder Jinnah , “Full religious liberty, i.e. liberty of belief, worship and observance, propaganda, association and education, shall be guaranteed to all communities.” Our founder also said,” In every province minorities were given adequate and effective representation.”
But after the death of the founder of Pakistan, Pakistan went into the hands of prejudice and Fundamentalist Muslims. They totally deny the role of minorities in the foundation of Pakistan. Now the Pakistan which was come into being as a secular country becomes an Islamic state. But that was not the Dream of the Founder of Pakistan. Fundamentalist and extremist Muslims have absolutely forgotten the sacrifices of Christian Minority in the foundation of Pakistan. And after 9/11 Taliban are trying to capture all parts of the country.
Under such threats we are trying our best to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this part of the world. War is going on, with the help of American army against religious extremist and Taliban. Our economy is down, poverty is increasing. People are dying by committing suicides. Daily we see the high increase in food items we have short of electricity. Drinking water problems.
Christians are facing discrimination of Muslims who are 97% of the total population.
In Schools our children have to read like this (We are all Muslims our religion is Islam our country is Islamic Republic)we do not have our own school where we can teach our kids the Christian values and tell them about Jesus Christ. We have felt to start Jesus Followers Ministry in Pakistan.
