These photos were sent to us by the Christians of Faisalabad.
They are in shock and mourning for the 85 killed when a large Christian church was bombed last month. They are trying to help the families of some 250 who were badly injured in the first bombing and a second bombing a week later.
Christians are under attack because Muslim extremists equate Christianity with America. In fact, most Americans have little or no connection with Pakistani Christians. Pakistan may as well be on the moon!
The dedicated Christians of Pakistan are serving where it is hardest to tell the Christian story. It is life-threatening for every man, woman and child.
2×2 has been trying to raise awareness. Small as we are, we collected $250. We had the money converted to rupees and wired (the most cost-effective way, we learned).
This was not easy! It took four trips to the bank to get the transfer through, but we (and the bank!) now know how to do it and it should be easy for us from here on.
If you would like to contribute, send a check marked Pakistan Relief, and we will make sure every penny will be sent to help the seriously injured and their families.
