Water resources and revenge killings

Aaron you are doing a good work for the nation of Pakistan. Any email that you have received from me until now you can post them on the Pakistan blog.

Here are some stories and news that you can post.

First of all, on March 30, 2008, it is Sunday and the electricity disconnected from 7am to 10 pm. We conducted the Sunday service without the sound system and I had to speak in a loud voice to convey the message of God from the living Word. In the night there were a lot of mosquitoes who were biting the children and adults as well. So I heard the cries of children nearly from every house. The reason for mosquitoes is that nowadays the crop of wheat is ripening and maturing as there is dew from the sky so this moisten is the best producer of these mosquitoes. As soon as the warm season will be intense the mosquitoes will die with this heat. About electricity our governmental department says that the water in the dams is below the dead level. So Pakistan is facing the problem of lack of natural water. This situation will be worse in the near future. Perhaps people will cry for the drinking water. With the passage of every day the price of petrol is increasing and the prices of things are touching the sky. We have only one option of praying.

Here is another story: On day of Easter, a Christian family was living in Karachi. There forefathers live in a near village to us. On the day of Easter, this family went out for entertainment. While driving there car struck with the car of a Pathan (Pathan is nation mostly living in Northern parts of Pakistan but they are also in Karachi in a great number, they are actual inhabitants of Afghanistan). So both Christian and Pathan fought on the road with blows, kick and dragged one another. In the same night, the Pathans knocked the door of that Christian family and as the younger brother came to open the door, they killed him, then they killed the second brother, the eldest brother came in the last, he resisted so they beat the gun on his head and it was torn. He lived in the hospital for three days and died. The three brothers are killed; they were all married and had children. Now there are their widows and orphan children left. One of reason is that they were Christians. The other problems you can imagine what is happening to their families.

Pray for that family. There are a lot of stories like this in this country. God bless you!

I hope to hear from you soon.
God bless you!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Rehman Masih Christie

Why this blog?

My name is Aaron D. Taylor and I'm the moderator of this blog. At the time of this writing, I've been to Pakistan twice and I've been itching to go back ever since. The last time I was in Pakistan was in April 2006 when I was there working on a feature length documentary called "Holy Wars." Since then, I've been in contact with at least three different ministries in Pakistan and each of them have sent me regular updates about their ministries along with stories of how their people are starving due to the severe discrimination that Christians face in Pakistan. Up until now I've felt pretty powerless about doing anything of significance to help my brothers and sisters in Christ in this troubled country. But a couple of weeks back an idea started brewing in my head. What if I could create a blog that allows Pakistani Christians to tell their own stories to the outside world? And then what if the blog became a well known hub for anything and everything related to Pakistan's Christians? Once the idea logged its way into my brain, I couldn't let it go. There are too many stories that need to be told. So there you have it! There are two assumptions undergirding the reason for why I started this blog. The first assumption is there are Pakistani Christians that want to tell their stories. The second assumption is there are Christians in the West that care. Only time will tell whether these assumptions prove to be true.
