PAKISTAN PART 4

UNREACHED PEOPLES

The mountain people of the far north are totally unreached, there are few believers and even fewer fellowships.

Specific people groups to pray for include the Balti, Burusha, Khowari and the Shina. These are some of the larger groups, but there are many other smaller groups.

Before any work can be started, the ground has to be watered with fervent and tearful prayer. Please pray many intercessors would be raised up.

Many Afghan refugees have fled to Pakistan and some have come to faith, please pray for the work amongst them, that is bearing fruit.

The Ahmadiyya are Muslims that are seen as heretical outcasts by the Muslim majority. Nothing is being done to reach the ten million Ahmadiyya both in Pakistan and worldwide.

PEOPLE FOCUS

BALTI

population 42,000

CHRISTIANS :  LESS THAN 10

These people were once Buddhist, but changed to Islam in 14th century. They live in the disputed region of Kashmir, which is largely closed to foreigners. Please pray for openings for medical teams and aid workers who are Christians to be allowed into this region.

This people is precious to God, please pray that the Lord would send workers into the harvest field and raise up intercessors for these people mentioned above.

PAKISTAN PART 3

Lets continue to pray for the Unreached peoples of Pakistan

The 25 million Sindhi are now showing signs of people coming to faith, due to radio broadcasts and loving ministry. Please pray for the Sindhi partnership that seeks to reach this people group.

PAKISTAN PART 2

Pakistan Part 2

This country lies right at the heart of the unreached world, over 300 people groups and castes have never heard the name of Jesus. Please become an intercessor for these peoples outlined below.

The teeming millions of the Punjabi majority on the Indus plains, there are a few fellowships amongst them, but there is so much to be done.  Please pray for the establishment of fellowships.

The Pashtuns situated by the North west Frontier with Afghanistan are virtually unreached. Pray for the calling of committed and fervent intercessors and missionaries, this is a demonic stronghold, which can only be broken by constant fervent prayer.

The Seraiki speaking peoples number 14 million, these peoples are largely ignored, but they need the gospel.

Please pray for them, that missionaries and intercessors would be raised up.

Karachi is a strategic hub for the gospel, millions come to the city for work. There are opportunities to share the gospel as people need love and care. Please pray for the other main cities such as  Islamabad,  Lahore and Multan.

PAKISTAN PART 1

PAKISTAN PART 1

Population 250 million

Christians 1.3 million

As you can see by the above statistic, the need in this muslim country is very urgent.

Despite the best efforts of radical Islamic groups, the gospel continues to grow, the church is maturing, but faces deep challenges. 

The imposition of sharia/blasphemy laws allow many Muslim’s to persecute the church, but through all this, the church continues to grow.

Deep and powerful revival to sweep over the church, many believers are committed, but many are nominal.

Please pray for the pastors seeking to lead the church in very difficult circumstances, Please pray that more men would be raised up who are humble servants.

Many churches operate in inadequate facilities, as many of the believers come from poor backgrounds. Please pray that the Lord would provide the finances needed.

Pray for unity between the believers, the muslim community needs to see the power of unity in Christ.

Pray that through all the persecution and intimidation, Christians would not live in fear, they would be like Peter and John in Acts 4

Pray that Christians would have a holy boldness to share the gospel.

The church was birthed from the lowest class of Dalits and so most Muslims have never heard of Jesus.  Pray that believers would be outward looking and outreach focused to reach the masses.

This is a massive task, these are just pointers. Check out the internet for more information
