Waqas has had two
throat surgeries and
remains hospitalized. |
Waqas, a Christian who worked at a paper factory, was attacked at work for refusing to reject Christ. When a Muslim supervisor asked him to renounce his faith and embrace Islam as the “true religion,” Waqas responded, “I do not need to change my religion. I have the living God.” Waqas was told that if he converted, his life would be easier, but his mother encouraged him to stand firm. “You have Jesus, who is the truth and the life. Therefore, do not worry and just focus on your work,” she said. On March 21, 2025, the man who tried to convert Waqas attacked him with a paper cutter, slicing his jugular vein. Waqas barely survived and is currently unable to speak. The attacker now claims that Waqas was destroying Islamic texts, and Waqas’ father, who worked at the same factory, was also fired, so the entire family has lost their income.
They request prayer that Waqas will fully recover and for strength to stand firm in their faith.
As the entire family has lost their income, prayer for provision for them.
Many Pakistani Christians are forced to work in low-paying, undesirable jobs. Pray for new opportunities and freedoms.
Pray for the encouragement of the roughly 4 million Pakistani Christians, using Joshua 1:9 as a guide.
