SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM

Dear All People of God:

I am Pastor George Assi from Pakistan. I hope you all might have heard the sad news about Christian people being killed by some muslims while they were worshipping in the Sunday morning at 9 AM. I was the pastor and was leading the service at the same time in this church. Suddenly some people with covered faces appeared and shooted the congregation and 4 children under 12 and 4 women and 8 men were dead at the spot and many are injured badly who know how many more will die there?

I want to let all of you know that I am also having threats from the Muslims people here in my area. Please pray for the safety of our people, especially my family and myself are in great danger right now.

We need your prayers. Please pray for me since myself do not know whether how long I do live here because soon or later we will also have these attacks on our people and our church. And may be we will have to flee but we have no place to flee anywhere. This is really hard time for us here in Pakistan now.

May the Lord bless you all.
Yours in His love,
Brother George Assi.
